U.S.
Carbine Sling Buckle from Berkeley Plantation, Harrison's
Landing, VA
Here is a nice cavalry carbine
sling buckle that was dug long ago at the historic Berkeley
Plantation at Harrison's landing. This was the ancestral home
of the Harrison famiy, and was the birthplace of Declaration
of Independence signer Benjamin Harrison and U.S. President
William Henry Harrison. In the late summer of 1862 the Army
of the Potomac was encamped at Harrison's Landing, and Berkeley
served as the headquarters of George B. McClellan. It was
on these grounds that the bugle call "Taps" was
written by General Daniel Butterfield. This buckle has a nice
dark brown patina and has some slight bends. A nice cavalry
artifact from very historic ground. DUG1- $89.00
