Khaki Posted 21 February , 2017 Share Posted 21 February , 2017 (edited) 5 hours ago, Torrey McLean said: Hello, Ken - I read somewhere that the Massachusetts soldiers that were photographed wearing belts with British "snake" buckles were issued those belts/buckles from the cargo of a captured blockade runner. If so, the cargo of the captured blockade runner would have been auctioned and probably purchased by the state of Massachusetts. Just speculation... Regards, Torrey The fittings for the snake belt seem to be being dug up by the CW metal detector enthusiasts on a regular basis, it would suggest to me that their use was wide spread. khaki Edited 21 February , 2017 by Khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
