[philrogers]

Assuming its a shoe buckle....anyone have other thoughts? Made of some kind of copper alloy...not iron.

Phil Rogers, I retitled the thread.

I'm thinking so. Just having ahard time seeing where the pin would go for the tongue and chape. Should be small holes where it gets thicker on either side in your pic. At first I thought that was a hole on the right side but when I enlarged the pic it just appeared to be some corrosion. I still think its a shoe buckle but A2coins is correct when he says something for size reference would help. Nice find!

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard philrogers! Take a look at Forum: United Kingdom for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your country.

2nd - Until a member pipes in - I pulled these from other TN threads...

Most likely modern. My guess would be 19th century
