Is this wreath the real deal or not?

It just seems so thin that I can't believe the military would use something like it.
I found this about a month ago in a farm field where a mid 1800s house stood at one time.
Any help would be appreciated.

It looks like part two wreath to me, possible Conf. Thee many size various. The best book is Plate Book by Mlle O. D or take to local relic Dealer that you trust. Chuck
 
Hello, Neal. Lots of the early militia two piece buckles were simply die - stamped with sheet brass. Like DUGINDIRT said, it fits the era. I'm certainly not an expert, but it looks like the real deal to me, having seen some similar pieces dug up through the years. Cool find! Maybe the other half is out there too.
 
Sash belts were made of cotton webbing, cloth, etc. and were really not intended to bear the weight of a sword. Whether it came with a military tongue like an eagle i dont know. Good find and good luck in 2011.

Here is one I founded a year or so ago. The nickle is for comparison.
