IDENTIFIED OFFICER'S SWORD BELT PLATE
This is the very rare version of an officer's sword belt plate with a rolled sheet-brass
face that is die struck with a lead filled back and an applied tongue. Deeply scratched
into the lead back is "CAB / 20". After a careful search, we have found seven
soldiers with the initials "CAB" in regiments numbered 20. Only one is an
officer early in the war and that is Captain Charles A. Bell of the 120th Indiana
Infantry. Though not conclusive, this is the most likely candidate. Reference: American
Military Belt Plates, by Campbell & O'Donnell, page 384, plate 633. A rare plate!

AMES OFFICER'S SWORD BELT PLATE
Gilt cast brass plate with die-struck eagle and wreath (wreath may have been silvered
originally) soldered on front. An example of this style of buckle from Ames Manufacturing
Company was approved December 5, 1851 by the Ordnance Department. This specimen is in nice
overall condition with the tips of the wreath missing. Reference: American Military Belt
Plates, by Campbell & O'Donnell, page 372, plate 910. Another rare plate!
