Real or Real Fake?

[Nounan]

SO there is a buckle and a plate. Are they real or fake? Buckle was supposedly found in a stream. plate was a dig. both back in the 1960's. Don't have any better pictures just fronts and backs.

They are awfully clean for "finds"..looks like someone used white out to label them. I know from field school, we used white out as a label base, then used a black india ink pen to write out info on.

I'm sure someone will come along soon to help you out.

Both are real. The puppy paw belt plate and the box are spot on REAL. They are both dug plates from the patina in the photos.

UPDATE.... i purchased the Buckle! They claim to have found it "Near the miller cornfield back in 1961" have cleaned it and had it on display. but it was in a small stream/creek. ..... SO What say ye? good purchase? When it comes i will update with a bunch of pics.

That depends of what you paid for them.

As long as you are happy. That is all that counts

What should i have paid and what i did pay..... probably 2 different things! from looking online it seems the prices i see vary from $250-$350. I gave $310...... For a 155 year old piece of metal..... Granted Antietam is a bad *** place to get it from! What should I have paid?
