Incredible Find Today

[johnash15]

Scouted a couple of new areas this afternoon. This was the first signal at my last stop. Any help would be greatly appreciated as far as dating this buckle. I'm assuming late 1800s to early 1900s.
Needless to say, I'm super excited!

Well I've looked all over the net and can't find one that looks like this. It was found in Marion County South Carolina.

that's fantastic. I did some looking on the net and couldn't find any info or pics of a similar one. My guess is 1890's. sweet find, congrats!

Sweet buckle!!

The coolest buckle I ever found with writing on it was a Pony Express buckle, mine only dated back to the 70's though. Lol

I would date it 1870 to 1900 based on the tongue, most of the Civil War period police buckles I've seen were two piece, similar to a two piece CS buckle. With that said, I've never seen a buckle like this before, very nice find!

Awesome buckle..

Beautiful, historical find, congratulations. Yes, your buckle dates 1870's-1920's, when the baton belt was worn outside of the overcoat. The other half of that buckle (loop for the hook) is hopefully nearby, happy hunting! Sub
