Did they use the same buckle in WW1 or earlier? Wouldn’t surprise me, but I’m no expert on these topics. Off topic, how do they put an invisible line of text about me being an E-Bay associate without me seeing it or approving it?

The WWI buckle was more curved than the WWII buckle which has straighter lines. Yours is the WWII style as Red-Coat has shown.

Cool thanks! I asked the property owner that has lived there for 60 some years now, I asked her if any one served in WW2 in the family and she said no. But she got over saying about a doctor occupied the place before she moved in. Im going to research property records and see what I can find, hopefully his name and go from there.

Remember army surplus stores were very common for many years. Lots of reason for military gear to be found around a home or in the woods. Many hunters utilized surplus military gear.

Hope your research is successful! While the doctor may have passed on, that would be cool to find their next of kin, as they can provide more details.
