Need help ID'ing this..

[Corpsegrinder]

Well my dad dug this at a battlefield down here in south ark. and i have never seen it.. any help id'ing this would be awesome.. and if you need any more info on it. let me know as well..

It looks like it might have had a pin that was attached on one side and there is a slot on the other side of the back as you can see in the pics. but not sure at all..

Was about 8-9 inches down he said.

I agree suspender clip

I think so too. Now to find out the history behind this design

[BuckleBoy]

This is a civilian item, and they are common finds in sites dating from 1850 to 1900. The Uncommon thing about them is that there was a great variety in the production of these items. I have never dug two that were the same, unless they came from the same site (a matching pair). Seldom have I even seen ones posted here that are identical to the ones I or my buddies have dug.

Thanks buckles. I still feel like his battlefeild has more goodies to give up. Was checking the maps and the location was right on the wagon train capture part. This is a big battlefield maybe 20-30+ acres we are grossing best we can to Trying to locate what others have not in the past 30 years

Met one fellow who detected this place for a few years and turned us on to where to start. So hopefully I will be posting more finds soon

thanks all.
