Civil & Indian War Officer M1851 Belt Buckle
Model M1851 belt buckle worn by U.S. officers during the Civil War/Indian Wars. Measuring 3" wide by 2-1/8”T. Solid cast bronze. Officer buckles had the wreath cast in the design, not applied like NCO's. Central image of 13 stars with rays above and right-facing eagle below a worn "E Pluribus Unum" banner on a pebbled background. Rear of the buckle has a loop to secure to the belt end and a flat loop hook to clasp the belt on the wearer. Overall condition is good, with a consistent dull patina covering the entire surface. This earlier more primitive eagle design, with great detail on deeper, protected features, gives this likely dug buckle a nice presence. This buckle was part of the Civil War and Indian War display at Donley’s Wild West Town Museum for 45 years.
