The non excavated Confederate two piece sword belt buckle shown here is listed in Steve Mullinax’s, Confederate Belt Buckles and Plates as a "Ball Serifs” style because of the pronounced balls at the ends of the letters. It is commonly referred to as the "Culpeper” style because many have been excavated in the Confederate cavalry camps around Culpeper, Virginia. Note the flat backed wreath, this is the only correct wreath for this pattern.

This pattern is much rarer than most realize. (Until they begin looking for one.) I have owned a minimum of 75 two piece buckles, but only four, or at the most five, of this pattern.

This buckle comes with the original bill of sale from Stone Mountain Relics, dated October 8^th, 2002, at which time it sold for $3,650.00.

$3,950.00
