✅ SOLVED Identify Possible Civil War Buckle Frame

[ColtsPop]

Can anyone tell me any more about the use of this item? Found on a documented Civil War site. Date on item - 1863.

How big is it? What does it say on the top?

I swear i see the word "Valentine"

I can see that it says PATENT and maybe 1863.
If the size is correct (small) I believe it is a adjuster from the back of trousers, like the second one down on the left:

And this thread is probably relevant, regard8ng the dates seen on them: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/w...r-seen-type-buckle-ided-belt-buckle-here.html

I'm leaning toward nhbenz I'd , a nice find.

Artifact size to scale. Union button found on same site, as well as dropped lead (on right)

So, would the consensus be that it is a trouser adjustment buckle?
