Description
Civil War Buckles by Hanover Brass Foundry. We have been in the business of casting Civil War Buckles for over 40 years. We reproduce over 500 various plates. All of our Civil War buckles are crafted from Yellow Brass and Red Brass and are sand cast and hand worked much as the originals were during and before the Civil War era. Each is made from a first generation casting, exclusive to Hanover Brass, the ONLY foundry licensed to cast from the original Civil War Buckles in the Maryland - Steuart Virginia Historical Society Museum collections. (Licensed) To answer your question is when you pay the Museum or the Collector to copy buckles and have it in writing that you can reproduce and sell the reproductions of the originals. You can read about this casting process in the April "Vol. 89 . No 2" quarterly Virginia Magazine. The following Belt Plates are reproductions from these originals and other Museums and private collections. Many are from my original belt plate collection.
