    Good ID, it does fit the Spur Buckles of that type & timeframe just puzzelled by the metal which looks more tombac than the usual copper-alloy

    PS. maybe well preserved copper-alloy (looking at picture again)
    TOO BUSY TO DETECT, YOU'RE TOO BUSY!!!

    I wonder if its an 18th century buckle in the same style (as you say like a copy). I guess the history of the area will narrow it to the right timeframe.
