Rare two-piece ‘tongue and wreath’ Confederate belt buckle with its original leather waist belt. The seemingly non-dug, cast brass buckle approximately measures 3.25˝ x 2˝, and the tongue, which features an embossed “CS” to center, fits cleanly within its laurel wreath holder. The single-folded and looped belt measures approximately 37.25” in length and is 1.5˝ in width, with the exterior showing light crazing, cracking, and two telltale vertical rows of stitching holes, likely made for sword hanger loops. Both the buckle and belt, which bear no visible maker’s marks, exhibit age from wear and use.
The Collection of Dr. Joseph Matheu.
