That is a really nice buckle. Looks like a knee buckle, but I can't see the pin terminals in the frame from the back view.

It looks like you are onto a really good site! Congrats on those finds. That is probably a knee buckle from the 1700's. Now I am no buckle expert but it would be really cool to find a 1600's hat buckle. I'm curious how one would differentiate a Hat buckle from other kinds of buckles.

On second thought maybe that's a little big for a knee buckle. Maybe a small shoe buckle?

Knee buckle is what I was thinking.

There should be two little raised humps in the side of the buckle with little holes where the chape pins entered the frame.

Congrats, you have a really nice 18th century knee buckle there. The reinforcement humps are not as pronounced as on these, but I can see them.
