Description
Although it looks non-dug, this SNY belt plate was actually excavated in the 1960’s to 1970’s in Varina Virginia. As with many of the old time diggers, the plate was cleaned more than a relic hunter would do today. The plate suffers little for this cleaning, though. It is in very nice excavated condition, but is missing the belt hook on the reverse of the plate. The plate retains the two “puppy paw” studs which attached it to the belt. The plate can clearly be seen as excavated in the picture of the back of the plate. The plate is priced accordingly with respect to the cleaning and missing belt hook. It displays well and would make a nice addition to a Civil War buckle collection.
