Waistbelt with rectangular buckle

Description

There were numerous types of belts produced for the Confederate Military during the Civil War. The buckles ranged from single plates with hooks, to two-piece interlocking buckles, to simple roller buckles and countless other variations. Many buckles use plates that bore the state seal or motto of their home states. As the War progressed, more and more men used captured US belt plates, often wearing them upside down.
