Congrats on the find !!

Thats a super cool find. Was it lead filled? If so it looks like someone may have melted to lead from the back of it. I've never seen a buckle like that with the picture of a lacrosse player on it....Congrats

Nice job and cool buckle, looks like early 1900s? I have disintegrated a few finds I have tried to straighten out. HH, Mike

that buckle really turned out !!!

I saw the name of a couple of professional metal men listed on here not long ago. Their work looks like a new buckle. I was amazed. Yes, I'm sure they had special equipment to work with. It would probably be too expensive unless it was a collector piece worth a lot of money. Monty
