It used to be attached to something on the wide end.
Notice the tapering on the side photo.

FANTASTIC ID!



We've seen these posted on CW relic websites before, and none of them were ID'ed. Folks generally knew that it went on a strap, but nobody had a clue as to exactly what it went on.


Thank you, everyone.

Ironspike, now you must put your picture finding skills to work and find a picture of that little shield and u thingy. That gizmo is the iconic "what is it" if there ever was one. In fact I think we should pool our resources and offer a prize to the identifyer.

If you're talking about that thread of mine (brass two-holed thingy with U-shaped piece), it was solved.

5 minutes have passed....


I found the link..... I read the source....."strap guide that PROBABLY went on a harness" Are you kidding? Man we've been there done that a few times over and still we've never seen an example in use. I looked up "strap guide". You know what I found? Zilch! Nadda! Weren't you the guy who said "don't call those things harness shields because you googled 'harness shield and nothing came up"?
It is not solved.

It was found by a UK detectorist (Silver Searcher, I believe) in a UK finds database which is run by the archaeological community.

Those other thingys are harness bosses. Darn it. LOL.
