TG-64 The civil war hook type on the back of the CS/Stars buckle.
Back of the CS/Stars that someone aged. If you rub this buckle with a rough cloth it will take the aged color off to a almost shine. You can age buckles all you want but you cannot get the 150 year age to stay on a reproduction. Under a hundred and over thousands makes a big difference. I get the blame and someone else gets the fame.

Original buckle showing the backing of the CS/Stars Belt Plate.
Aged CS/Stars belt plate to look original and passed around from dealer to dealer. It also has a letter saying it is original. Look below the S and you see this line very clear. It will be on all the CS/Stars belt plates I cast. When buying a original look for this line or a mark where someone tried to take it out.

T-64 Oval CS/Stars Belt Plate. A friend made this plate before I had access to an original. Every brass part is hand finished and an exact copy of the original, size and star direction. It is a beautiful plate but the original top right has sand flaws and crude cast and you could buy a nice new Chevy with it.

Top - reproduction G-40 Breckinridge and original CS pictured next. "This stamped CS Oval buckle/plate was dug on December 19, 2013 by David Eschenfelder and his son James. It was recovered in a Confederate camp in NW Louisiana. This camp was occupied by a division of LA Infantry that had originally been posted in Corinth, MS and would later see action at the Battle of Shiloh, TN. As this is an Army of Tennessee style plate the only explanation is that it was acquired while in that theatre of operations and later discarded in the theatre of the Trans-Mississippi. David (Dave to his friends) is a PhD historic archaeologist who has 55+ years digging military sites east & west of the Mississippi. His son James (JOC to his friends) has accompanied his father for over 20 years recovering and conserving military artifacts of America's past. This was their first plate as a father/son team!"
