Great looking find simon! Any idea what military it was from?

 

[simonthesearcher]

No Steve,but i have been told that some of these buckles have been found in the USA so start looking.The pic doesnt really do it justice as the detail on it didnt come out to good

Simon - is that a lion's head on it or am I imagining it?  Great find !

Oops - just noticed the name of the jpg file. Never mind.

Seems theres been a mistake on the ID of this one.Its a crowned head on it and that makes it a 1300-1400 clasp ,i thought it looked older than 1800,s

Hmm, why do I keep getting the feeling that I live in the wrong place for this hobby? :P

 

[Jeff R]

I've guessed wrong on a date before ..... but dirt is the only thing I dig up that old.
Nice score!
