Hi
I think the buckle is actually a Span-Am or WWI buckle. I looked and couldn't find any and don't know of any snake (fork) tongues that have the rounded outside frame. All I know of are flat plus I don't know of any, and couldn't find any, that have the groove in the center bar. I do know that Span-Am and WWI buckles made like that do have both though. I've actually dug a few like that and thought the first one was some kind of CS frame.

I wondered about the groove on the center bar as well...I appreciate your help vayank...Thanks
