Buckle Identification Link.

This is a great website to help everyone ID their old buckles. Thought it would come in handy here:

Nice site Tim, thanks, I bookmarked it. Too bad it doesn't get into the newer buckles which everybody finds and asks about.

Yes, it's strange that he stopped around 1800. Maybe buckles became more generic after that time, making them tougher to accurately date.

And a note to U.S. diggers. If you're trying to ID a buckle, start at around page 90. We don't find too many buckles before 1700, so checking the first 89 pages is usually a waste of time!

Great Reference..

Was gonna say something like ; that what was said above, "I wish that i'd come across buckles that old"

Especially here in North Georgia.

This is a great reference work....but how about from 1801 onward? That would be nice too. Thanks for the link.
