Help dating a two piece naval buckle

Can anyone give me a time period for the tongue? I found it tonight at an 18th century house site. It’s got weight to it and I think it’s brass that’s silver plated. Thanks!

Waiting for those more in the know. I did a cursory search and couldn't find any buckles with that style anchor. The one on your buckle is somewhat plain, that is not meant as a derogatory comment.

I agree, it is pretty crude.

Also it might just be me, but it seems to be somewhat small in size.

Yes, it’s pretty small, almost sash buckle size.

Sick again today, so just one post. Here's a photo showing the "2-piece Naval buckle" you found. Stated correctly, it is a "Nautical Motif" buckle, not one that was used by any country's actual Navy. It is from the 1930s. It was originally identified here in the What-Is-It? forum by The Lady Bramblefind, a few years ago. You can do a Search at T-Net for her post about it (and the discussion-thread it's in), which has more information than I can remember.
