REVOLUTIONARY WAR BUCKLE? and the biggest petal bell.

[Vino]

Went hunting with PA SLUETH THIS afternoon. Was at a place that had alot of history.
Only 2 good targets for me the one is this buckle. What I believe is a rev war sling buckle.
And the other is this huge petal bell.
What till you see what the SLUETH found!!!!! Unbelievable.
Thanks for looking.
George

George - here are some example of Rev War buckles, and your appears to be similar to one in the middle of the top row. Great late colonial find!

Nice find george, I found a bell like that last year almost totally intact, missing a small piece off the back

I'm really liking that buckle. I can see the small variations that lets you know it's hand made. When I see things like that it takes things to a whole new level for me. Congrats on your colonial streak ol buddy. YOU DA MAN[emoji6]

Love the buckle, before long you are going to be able to dress up as a Revolutionary War soldier for Halloween, complete with authentic hardware!

Killer buckle George. Funny, seeing it cleaned up here I thought the same thing Steve said about its little variations and being hand made. Then I scrolled down and see he said just what I was thinking! Great color on that buckle too. Keep these finds coming man... What an incredible year. Huge congratulations.

Nice save on the buckle, I've never heard them referred to as petal bells before, so I just learnt something new.

The metal type, construction & tooling look 18th C to me, but not sure how you would connect it to the Military other than its unusually large. So I would be 80% happy to say Rev War Buckle. Nice find either way.

Thanks Brad,
Yep. As soon as it came out I was pretty excited.
Nice to be the first to hold ot after a couple hundred years.

Great looking late 18th century buckle George, certainly could be Rev War given Bill's reference material.
