The US plate is only for comparison and not in this sale! It was dug with multiple CS Plates and I only have a 2 left! Listed as a reproduction but 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 came out of the same type of sand based soil. Also had a lifetime reenactor and seller of reenacting goods tell me there was never a repro rope border made that he knew of? He also was a big time metal detectorist. So buy it if you like it but there are no returns. Will be insured priority mail.
