✅ SOLVED Age of this buckle?

[pepperj]

Found this yesterday and thinking its a buckle. Not even sure on that one nor the age. Site is early pre 1830 from coinage and relics.

Size is 35mm X 45mm

I think it’s actually a faux buckle brooch, like a sash pin, from ? maybe late Victorian? Can someone say when these were popular, if that’s what it is?

Any evidence of a missing pin and/or catch on the back?

Leprechaun buckle. Guaranteed. Good catch! ☘️

i found something very similar yesterday

I still agree with Ben.
I think it's a sash buckle brooch or pin, Victorian era. The rounded buckle catches are the best evidence of this.

Thank for all replies and the Victorian style with the rounded catches is a given.

Interesting find Jim, too bad it didn't look like the silver-plated example pictured above eh!
Hey, at least you got an I.D. on it... the members here on Tnet are an amazing source of reference!
