Militia box and breast plates

[Michael Comer]

Does anyone know if anybody makes or deals in a generic militia box plate and perhaps a breast plate too? I know there are some for state troops, but I am looking for something similar to the militia belt buckles that are available.

Hallo!

Define "generic?" ;) :)

I would suggest, perhaps, a looksee at Hanover Brass:

Don,

I've seen quite a few belt plates described as "early" or "common" militia plates and all of them have some sort of eagle motif. I was wondering if anyone sold a breast plate with the same thing. I haven't seen one. I could always use a standard US plate I suppose but was wanting something a bit more "militia" looking if it was to be had.
