CONFEDERATE LOUISIANA MILITIA BUCKLE

Here is your chance to own a Confederate belt buckle with a neat history for a fraction of what they normally cost.  This plate is featured in Francis Lords Volume III Encyclopedia as a Louisiana CS Buckle and I am backing him on this one.  The buckle comes with a tag that says Michie Tennessee.  Michie was known as Monteray back in the war and the 18th LA were stationed there before Shiloh as the advance guard of the CS forces.  Neat buckle for the price.
