I have dug 3 of these brass frame buckles over the years. Always thought they were just generic "sash" buckles.
That is, until I started looking at more women in 19th century photos.
I'm convinced that these are women's dress buckles.
I pulled a photo of a woman in a dress posing for a photograph and posted with this thread. It sure looks like it to me.
I found these buckles at battle/camp sites associated with the Vicksburg campaign.
I'm open to any opinion on these buckles. Is my theory correct or are these buckles usage something entirely different?
