Help with a buckle.

[Mich. Wolverine]

I have found a lot of buckles but not one like this. Is this some type of military buckle like for a sword or bayonet? It's 2 inches long and 1 and 3 eights wide and no manufacturer's mark. Thanks for any help.

Obviously designed for a specific purpose, it's not decorative, so it's likely to be a utilitarian function.
Looks to be a fairly heavy casting and with the loop attachment, maybe saddle tack or a knapsack related function.
Date wise, I'm thinking early 20thc.

I do think its some type of sword belt/scabbard buckle, but can't place it right now

Lots of different configurations of buckles back in the day. This is all I found.

Nice find! I'm no expert but wouldn't a military item of that size have a manufacturer's mark or ID of some kind?
