Any Civil War era Belt Buckle experts????

If it is real you have yourself a piece of American history.
Some folks don't know what they have and just toss things out.

The picture's blurry of the back ,but it looks like initials scratch in the lead.
If so what are they. Many of the soldiers would put initial or their names on some of their equipment.

It may have been handed down in someones family tossed in a box and forgot about.

I noticed your location is in Ohio. There were quite a few regiment from your state.

If those are initials on the back there is a web site that you might be able to find the name of the soldier from the regimental roster. That is if he was in an Ohio regiment. Of course there may be more then one with the same initials too.

It's a cool find though.
