Will need to see the backside as well, so those that are knowledgeable can properly ID, really helps in the ID. Now I am not knowledgeable fyi.

From what I found, it is a Mississippi sword plate buckle circa 1850.
Very nice find!!!

I have no idea… may someone else can help you with that… Civil War era and especially Confederate buckle are sought after and some are quite valuable.
What you have is in great condition.
It would be nice if you can find the other to it.
I did find one that sold for $394.00 to give you some idea of it’s value.

If legit and not a reproduction, it is awesome. Looks spot on to one dug at DIV, link below. Are you able to supply some context to it? Did you find it metal detecting, garage sale etc? Not needing specifics, all info helps for the knowledgeable ones to make a good ID. https://diggininvirginia.com/plates/

It was found while metal detecting it was black as tar when it came out of the ground. We were hunting for civil war relics and we did find a lot of three ring bullets and some lead bars that were used in for casting bullets.

Congrats on the killer plate ! Confederate Mississippi plate and worth much much more than $394, more like $10,000.

I thought that was a low price.
I did not find it but saw one listed on a website.
