Item: Excavated US Belt Buckle - Stud Hooks
Construction: Stamped thin sheet brass with raised letters "US". Rear with solder fill and stud type belt attachment hooks.

A portion of the rim at the "S" end missing and repairs have been made to certain areas of what remains and a couple of freeze cracks are present in. Its clear coated rear retains all three attachment hooks and most of its now stable solder.

Comments: Relics from the area of New Market are not always readily available and this example will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War buckle, plate, or general relic collection.
