Copper or brass knight figure belt clip with eyelet?

[Bulldigger]

Need help with a new find. Looks like copper or brass. I'm thinking something worn on a belt with an eyelet to hook something to. The figure looks to be a knight or conquistador or something. Just a little stumped on this one as to the age and what it was used for. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

I'd put my money on it being a Knights of Pythias sword belt hanger. it's a lot like the ones on this page.... https://www.antiqueswords.com/produ...f-Pythias-Sword-Belt-and-Hangers-ca-1880.html

Good call.

I see what you mean. It gives me some new terminology to search for. This one just seems a lot more primitive then the ones used by the Knights of Pythias.

They were wrong. It's actually Knights of the Maccabees.

After looking at several of these I think they are sort of generic - not for any particular Order. Just an item from the sword belt seller.
