Buckle?

[3bailey3]

Hey guys just now joining and trying to finding out what this is? I was in a hunting club at 8 miles from the battle of Raymond and I found this buckle lying on top of the ground, not dug. The place use to be a working plantation and I was thinking one of the worker might have found because it was beside a old shack, thanks for any help.

What you have is Model 1881 cavalry buckle for a cartridge belt. It should be marked on the tongue Anson Mill's

Even though this buckle is not from the civil war it's still a great find. Congratulations and thanks for posting it up. Keep looking around that plantation, McPherson's Corps traveled up through that area to the battle of Raymond.

Here is my Mills belt plate. It's a little later than yours and is from the Spanish American war time period.
