420 buckle

[tomsneck]

Kinda funny to find this so close to 4/20. Never found a four piece buckle. Any idea what it was for. Found it near what I think was the horse stable. Lots of rivets. Some w leather still in them. And a service button.
Thanks for the look
Happy 4/20 [emoji12]

Never seen one like that. With the loop on the end I would guess Cavalry carbine sling buckle. But I'm only guessing.

4-20! Ha!

Just found another thread and based on the copyright (PAT APRIL 20 1875) it was buckle was used along with an attachment as a shoe buckle or to attach other articles...

Cool. Have terrible service right now so I can't load the pics u posted. I'm curious about the makers mark. Ryb and a l above and in the y.

Not a carbine sling buckle...

 

[DCMatt]

The B Y part of the mark is no doubt for Baker Young - the inventor.

Cool. Did u see the attached pic w the patent?

the eagle service button is era correct to match up with a 1875 ish buckle --it post civil war and pre Spanish American war time frame -- say 1876 to 1901 ...looks like a indain wars era trifecta --sling , buckle , button

Cool. Did u see the attached pic w the patent?
