Dug this up today and I'm pretty excited about it. Clearly a belt plate, but I've been having trouble identifying it further:
No markings on either side apart from the Maltese cross. It's brass with a very thick silver plating. Definitely cast as opposed to stamped and the loop and tongue are quite robust.
I found it in a yard along with relics spanning the 1780's up to present day. Online I found a few masonic sword belt plates with Maltese crosses, but nothing particularly close to this so I'm not certain that's it. It does appear to be 19th century though; foreign military perhaps?
