Buckle ID Needed

[Kirk PA]

I found this buckle yesterday in the field. What kind of buckle is it and how old?

Thanks for any help!

Stamped brass = not that old.

I am aware of 2-piece buckles and powder flasks. Context is everything. Cast and die stamped is not the same as a plain buckle pressed out of sheet brass. Plain buckles of your era were mostly just cast? Much cheaper at that time.

Do you see brass tongues or iron for 1850's? Thanks.
