Can anyone tell me what the thing Is I posted a picture of in this thread?? I'm confused, what is it? Is it old, or worth keeping?
Thanks These S buckles were first used as a fastener for a sword belt in England back in the 1500s-1700s to hang your sword from. The belt was part of the sword get-up. Then both sides in the Civil War used them as a regular belt fastener and probably still hung their sword from that belt,England specifically made them for a sword belt at first. Check the link out on S buckles that I posted showing that they were first made for a sword belt. Like you say, either way they hung a sword some how and still cool. HH 401KX2 I think even civilians could buy them, it's definitely a snake buckle, which in my opinion is even better than a sword hanger!! WTG!!
Are these sword hangers? I've found a few of the plain ones before that looked exactly like those, I misplaced them thinking they were horse parts or something like that.
nope, they're gag loops.
so yes, horse parts.
