One heck of a military buckle!
Probably my best find to date...and one I am going to enter into the best finds...if I can figure out who can authenticate it, etc.

Wess, that is a damn nice find. What do you know about it?
The only ones for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the sky.

Re: One heck of a military buckle!
Thanks for the heads up. The one on ebay is different, and larger. Seems that there were many varieties used...for a loooong period of time.

LOL. The piece on ebay says "Sword belt hanger" and they are saying 1600s. Guess this guy doesn't know what he has. Who knows, maybe because he doesn't know what it is he isn't getting any good bids. I would think if it's a museum piece that a whole buckle is worth a bundle. Hope you find the other half, AND the middle piece.
Never underestimate the stupidity of people.
