Re: Old Hart Buckle?

Often misidetified as Bedroll buckles they were buckle covers,often horse tack related to prevent the horses tail from being caught in the buckle.I am unclear as to exact period,possibly C.W. ???

Re: Old Hart Buckle?

The ID given by those who chimed in before me is correct. The item is a harness buckle shield.
