US Model 1834  NCO belt plate with makers mark of W.H. Smith. The more common example of this plate, was to be worn as a breast plate, but this example, is a little harder to find. The placement of the hooks on the reverse side of the plate tell us that this was to be worn as a belt plate. With the purchase of this plate, you will also recieve a very beautiful oak wood display box as seen in the photo above.
