Can you show a pic of the back of the top buckle.

Barber

Nice barber

The barber was only a inch down laying flat. When I dug the plug, it was just laying there. First though its Quarter, second though was maybe its silver, third though was when i saw it was a barber. I turn into Dick Viltal And Said "Are You Kidding Me" There was no forth though I just started laughing. & started walking over to my buddy!

The back of the MWA buckle has no markings! I did see one like this on Mark Parker site , but it shows a F in the lower middle dated from 1890-1930

Obviously the dirt had been turned over. Doesn't follow the rule of thumb. Untouched grass decays 1" every 20 years. Congrats! It's in really good shape too. Nearly full liberty.

That 20 twenty years got anything to do with your screen name?
