Small Buckle

[fyrffytr1]

I found this buckle at a Spanish/American War camp site. It appears to have an X or crossed cannons and an anchor on the back.

Cool. I've never seen one with the X and anchor like that. Fomr the way it's made I'd say it's horse related and Span Am or WWI period.

I also believe its horse related. We have had items before posted with this anchor and I think its the North & Judd mark.




Heres one found by relicdude and the discussion. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,206899.0.html
