     The buckle shown here comes with a chain of ownership from well known author and collector Mac Mason.  The chain of ownership will be supplied to the buyer.  It is a sand cast two piece buckle that is one of the Virginia styles.  These buckles were used primarily for sword belts issued to the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia and to a lesser extent, officers of that army.

     The buckle exhibits coarse file marks and extensive wear and retains its natural pleasing patina.  It still retains a high convex curve and measures 50 x 84 mm. 

     It is perfect in every way and has an impeccable provenance; it could not be improved upon.
