Japanese War Medal or CW Suspender Buckle

[Breezie]

Hey Ya'll, I trust everyone 'played nice' while I was on vacation for the past 1 1/2 weeks. During that time, I did get a chance to detect a camp area. Below are a few pics of a strange piece I found. Because it has gripper teeth, I thought it might be a suspender buckle of some type or maybe a piece that held a military metal. I really have no clue, but figure the teeth portion was there to 'hold' something in place. Thanks in advance for any help. Southern Smiles, Breezie

Re: CW Suspender Buckle or

It looks like some kind of suspender buckle I've never seen one exactly like that. It looks like it had a piece made out of wire that went above and across piece you dug and went through the small outside holes and was attached to the bottom of the piece with the teeth. I hope you can understand what I mean I was having a hard time figuring out how to wor it.

Re: CW Suspender Buckle or

Yes, I do understand your description. I think they are called Ribbon Drape Bars. I think my find is more on the line with an award/ribbon, than suspender, but the jury is still out on this one. Thanks, Breezie

Good Mornin' Ya'll, Is it possible this could be a Japanese Military Medal/Ribbon holder since Japan used the Chrysanthemum Crest? Did any other country use this crest? Or did any State use the chrysanthemum during the Civil War?
