Collection Double (Snake) Swan Buckle

[JOHN42768]

For your enjoyment and comments. Just purchased Plate#216 in Turner & Harris's book "Snake Buckles, From Ancient Times to Mid-20th Century". The single version are fairly common, but double are not so much. All measurements match the book. They seem to always be referred to as snake, however swan heads were also used. Recovered between Shiloh and LaGrange.

Might anyone have any photos showing a soldier or officer wearing an example of the twin buckle they could post? Thanks
