1/2 a knee buckle I think

It doesn't look broken on the ends, but it does look like only half a knee buckle, thats why I post it here and let the experts do their magic. many thanks in advance. Dean

Not sure of the use but looks like it has some serious age to it. 1600s/early 17s maybe. I have a good book and will check it a bit later if no one replies with an answer.

Ip, had it and would have got you taken care of on the Id. If I remember correctly I think Deepdiger60 has one in his avatar.
Take Care,
