Eagle Officers Belt Plate Circa 1863 - 1865 "Buckle Lesson" For all of you who think that the wide hook makes the Eagle Officers Belt Plate Post War - WRONG. The above belt plate was dug from the union trench line on the Cold Harbor battlefield and has the name 2nd Lt. Henry H. Jones Co. I 2nd Regt. Delaware Vol. Inf. engraved in the back. Lt. Jones died at the June 3rd 1864 battle of Cold Harbor, Va. I think that this can put to rest the wide hook being post war. Also Jeb Stuart's belt plate has a wide hook and the same type as the above belt plate.

Remember I cast and finish these buckles and other items as ordered so it may take seven to fifteen days to get your order mailed. My site gets me many customers each week and so many items to choose so I never have these belt plates in stock. It will be 1st class sand casting.

Beautiful pair of original Eagle Spurs. The same type as the reproduction T-Eagle Spurs. I have cast these in sterling silver.
24kt. Gold Plated Eagle Spurs I cast for a customer.
A pair of battlefield dug cast spurs that the metal did not fill the sand mold when the brass was poured. Holes were drilled on each side to replace the leather strap parts that did not fill out the sand mold. If metal was not poured at the correct temperature this is the finished casting. If it could be used it was not put back in the melting pot.
