I'm glad this resurfaced. I was really disappointed when I got to the end of the other thread only to find it closed, and thought I missed my chance to comment.
What I really wanted to say was how much I really wanted a 3 handled moss covered credenza.

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?
Its a gag loop, I found a brass one very similar to the one pictured on the left. It might be old but not in high demand, if you think its cool hang on to it.

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!!
jesus, this !!!! again?
look, I love the friendly part of this forum, but this is more than obvious trolling just to get people riled up.
I don't know if there is a report button, but mods, can we get this locked?
No good will come from this post, and at the worst, some one that's found a gag loop may run off with misinformation because they want to have found a sword hanger.
edit: .... wow, I didn't even write an actual four letter word there and it got blooped out?!

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.
