Default Snake Buckles...

Hi All,

Does anyone know if any substantive research exists on 19th c. British military snake buckles? They appear here in the states fairly often, almost invariably characterized with an American Civil War connection (and known to collectors as "blockade buckles", given that imports from England had to get through the Union blockade in order to get material into Confederate territory). I'm sure most of what we see here are WWI period, or at best, late Victorian period. Anyone aware of more detailed analysis?

Mark~
