TG-CNGP.This C.N two piece belt plate was worn by Lieutenant William Pinckney Mason commander of CSS Beauford and later the CSS Virginia ll. Mason lived to age 80 and buried in Rockville Union Cemetery, Maryland. His original belt plate is displayed in the Museum of the Confederacy, Richmond,VA. This C.N. two piece is 24kt. gold plated. You can contact us about gold and silver plateing.
The wreath is original but the CN tongue is a fantasy piece. I made this tongue in 1969 to add to my patterns before I copied the original CN from the Virginia Historical Society.
