Thats just it. It looks like melted coins almost. some reeded areas and what looks like numbers. i really don't know. its such a mess of a :what is it: i just buffed it somemore and can decern the barrel in the middle is stamped with " NO 25 - M BRO _ _ _ " im assuming maybe its says bronze. but the thing is. this is just the buckle. But its much more then that. so many items metals have been melted onto it. Its not uniform there is def differ metals as iv acid tested and all sorts of things happen. i even soaked it in 1ok acid when i first cleaned it up to get the tru color of the metal. SO what ya see is as of today when i got it it was blacked and dirty. Someone said it could have been a relic buckle that a soldier melted casings onto, but that doesn't make sens to me. but take some good looks at the pic. Any advice as to what to do iv showed my coin guy iv showed my antique people iv had offers to buy it but none worth the loss of such a cool and unusual item.
id have to get the digi out and weigh it. its a couple of oz for sure got some weight to it
