Re: A Union Surgeon's buckle in a Ky cav regt?

He would probably have worn a common officer's rectangle sword belt plate with the eagle motif. I don't think the Union army had a specific medical service belt plate. Very unlikely he wore a Kentucky plate unless he was in a pre-war militia. The Kentucky state seal plates are very rare.
