    I purchased this from an individual who had it in their family for three generations. Although they know that no ancestors served in the Civil War, it has been in the family's possession since the early 1900's.
    I believe it to be the pattern 1851 eagle sword belt buckle with applied silver wreath. The buckle has the bench stamp #858.

      I always thought this was one of the better looking buckles, and want one for my collection. Unfortunately it's an often reproduced buckle (not saying this one is)

      It's in great condition

      Chrisnp I shared your concern over the buckle so forwarded the information and photos to Steve Heller of Heller's Civil War Antiques in PA who authenticated it as genuine. A great sense of relief!
