87.3 x 55.5mm, solder filled, filed beveled brass arrow hooks. Many later manufactured versions of this buckle exist with flat unbeveled hooks. This buckle collected by Luis Emilio prior to 1902, has fine untouched patina, nicely finished beveled hooks. The Civil War era buckle has always been controversial as whether it is Texas or militia. Regardless, this is as fine an example as you will find. UNATTACHED ACCESSORIES: Copy of pages from Mullinax & Albaugh texts showing pattern. CONDITION: very good to fine overall, few small dents & dings in rim. PROVENANCE: Luis F. Emilio estate collection. (02-23227-1/JS). $1,000-2,000.
