Drum stick belt buckle

[rblakedigger]

I was fortunate and lucky enough for my F75 coil to pass over this unique and rare buckle. I don’t recall seeing this type buckle dug in a long time. Recovered with the F75 stock coil. This complete drummer stick belt buckle still retains the hooks with one complete hook intact. I coated the iron hook in Gemplers Rust Converter to help with preservation.

Do the drum sticks fit in the buckle?
How old are they?
What is it made of?

Yes...It’s from the American Civil War...It’s stamped plated brass with the iron hooks soldered on and I believe the holders were riveted on but not exactly sure
