Civil War Belt Plate I purchased this past Saturday

just a hint: when you make those other pics place shiny objects on a piece of dark coloured cloth (preferably velvet) - for that belt buckle navy blue would be ideal, for silvery stuff it's dark green or bordeaux - if you have a flatbed scanner you can get more depth quite easily without relying on a steady hand - the cloth on top will also prevent it from moving when you close the lid

that will greatly enhance the awe factor for everyone concerned :wink:
 
Good points!
Funny story....when I told the seller I would buy the belt plate but before I handed over the money, he made me promise NOT to clean and polish the plate which of course I promised.
I've learned my lesson the hard way about "cleaning" old items in that 99.9999999% of the time, leave it alone!
