Civil War Union Officer’s Brass Buckle – Sand Cast with Chrome Laurel Design

The centerpiece of this striking Civil War Union Officer Brass Buckle is the fierce bald eagle, wings majestically outstretched as an emblem of American strength and resilience. In its grasp, the eagle holds three powerful symbols of the nation’s identity: the US shield, a bundle of arrows, and olive branches. Together they embody the duality of war and peace that shaped America’s history, making this buckle far more than just an accessory but a wearable emblem of heritage.

Gripped firmly in the eagle’s beak is the ribbon bearing the words “E Pluribus Unum” (“Out of many, one”), a motto that has united the American people since the nation’s founding. This subtle yet profound detail transforms the buckle into a proud statement of unity, courage, and the ideals that define America.

The eagle and laurel are cast in brass with chrome highlights that catch the light, enhancing their definition. Produced using the traditional sand-casting method, each buckle carries the weight and authenticity of history. Whether you are a Civil War collector of military memorabilia, or someone who appreciates meaningful craftsmanship, this Union Officer’s Brass Buckle is a piece that bridges past and present.
