Guys:

I have 8 tin buckles left in stock. During this month or until the entire amount are sold, I am going to make a donation of $10 made from each sale of these buckles to the Longstreet Billet located in Russellville, TN.

This billet was used by General Longstreet during his campaign of Knoxville in the East Tennessee area during the winter while his troops were camped in Russellville. The house was about to be torn down to make way for a Dollar Store before the Lakeway Preservation Association stepped in and purchased the house and started to preserve it. I thought I would help in the preservation of this historic place by donating $10 of the proceeds to the preservation of this house.

The buckles are $25 plus $5 for shipping.

Guys:

I thought the post that had pictures of my buckles was still on the forum, but obviously they are not. I am posting them here again. Originals can be found in Keim's book "Confederate Accoutrement Belt Plates"
