Just dug this buckle at an old home site. There appears to be a lion on top of a crown. The area has a lot of Revolutionary and CW history so I'm not sure what era the buckle is from. Can anyone help with an ID?

Thanks!

Can you clean off the dirt? It could be a very nice one.

Appears to be a vintage military pistol belt buckle

Here's a cleaned up picture of the buckle. Hopefully it will help with the ID. Thanks for all the help!
