The buckle I dated to 1928 from the swastika maker mark. It’s pretty cool but I am worried about rust marks.I don’t think they are real diamonds lol. Found at a site we have hunted a lot. Also found a Sheffield plate fork.

Nice finds....not to be a nit picker but your bell is actually an older sleigh bell...the top was shaped like a rivet to attach to the leather strap and made of steel hence the corrosion.

I found 2 of each at one site so you're definitely in the right place. Good luck!

Tedyoh is spot on with this. I think I say this on every post with bells, but I'll say it again. Bells are one of my favorite finds.

Looks like you had a nice hunt. I don't think it is a buckle, it has pin attachments on the back making it a brooch.
