The US plate is only for comparison and not in this sale! It was dug with multiple CS Plates and I only have a couple left! Listed as a reproduction nut I never had one person say the US Plate was not authentic and many times after seeing the US Plate they would get tongue tied over the CS one!! They all were never completely cleaned and all still have the same type of sand based soil visible in the nooks on the backs of these pieces. Also had a lifetime reenactor and seller of reenacting goods tell me there was never a repro rope border made that he knew of? So buy it if you like it but there are no returns. Will be insured priority mail.
