Impression Help (Belt)

[Jace Beleren]

Hello,
I'm currently looking for some help with my impression. I have a standard waist belt, with a Louisiana plate. I currently am trying to portray a Confederate soldier spring 1864. I often times have to fall in with different units so I am wondering what is the most common belt plate that I could use that would not cause to much trouble falling into other units (North Carolina Unit with a Louisiana plate). I'm really low on funds so I can't buy a new belt with like a Georgia frame or forked tongue. Would I be best to do with a rectangular C.S.A. or some other type of Confederate plate? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Me personally, I'd use a generic oval or square CS buckle.

Keep what you have.....By 1864, maybe you were transferred to another unit.....Or, get a forked tongue.....

I went with the US oval personally. You wear it right up it says, "Im playing yank this weekend", flip it and "Im playing reb". Effective, historically correct and cost effective.
