Not a CSA collector, a Union collector but over & over on this website if I remember stating that all them CSA round belt buckles are fake. Hope you did not pay a lot for it!

These are fake plates. The fill and hooks are incorrect. Real cs plates like it will run you over $ 3,000

Keep in mind that for fifty years reproduction belt buckles of variable quality have been produced with no intent to deceive.

Actual CSA relics are, for a lot of reasons, relatively rare. Delta berate fakes intended to deceive, on the other hand grow in number everyday.

A well known appraiser of CW relics is quarts as saying that outside of private collections & estate sales, he goes 10 years at a stretch without evaluating a genuine CSA relic.

That´s a repro - I had one just like it that I bought in the Petersburg Battlefield Viisitor Center in 1974. It was $5.
