SNY Buckle

This State of New York militia buckle was probably lost during the Peninsula Campaign.  I couldn't resist the opportunity to improve its condition and hopefully pass it on to someone who would like to add this to their collection and who appreciates how it looks now.    Basically, I have removed some of the high profile oxidation, or "crusties" as I refer to them, filled some voids in the rim, and evened out the overall color.  I also removed the digger's marks from the solder fill.  I think the work represents an improvement without overdoing the resto'.  This plate is available for sale for those who may be interested.
