Do either of the little end pieces unthread? It resembles a large, damaged key ring. One where the end cap is unthreaded to allow keys to be added or removed.

The rein guide is a style that was used for many decades, so it doesn’t help me guess the age.

the ends do screw off i think it is modern. I no there has been at least one time i trashed an artifact i thought was junk just to see later someone else post a pic on here and turned out to be a civil war relic. Just wont to make sure.

I found both pieces to the buckle thought the triangle piece was junk and trashed it only to learn what it was after

I know what you mean, I’ve found potentially 200+ year old gun parts while picking through stuff I originally had no idea what I was looking at and had in a bucket with iron scrap and nails and such… I wish remembered where they came from
