I am enclosing some pictures of a buckle and a pair of buttons. I am a beginner at collecting and my knowledge is limited at this time.
I have looked at many websites to identify this buckle with no luck. The buckle looks real to me but with anything Confederate, I have my doubts. I found many fake examples but they all had larger letters and had periods: "C. S. A." I did not find any examples with smaller letters "CSA" with no periods like this one. So I wonder about that. The backside looks good but I still have my doubts. Can anyone share some insight on this buckle?
I believe the buttons are real and I did read that the same company is making / had made newer ones but the thread loop on the backside is very obviously a more modern style. Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance.
