✅ SOLVED Strange Bronze Pin

[Vldetecting]

Found this old-looking bronze pin today while metal detecting. I believe it has something to do with either a buckle or a suspenders clip. It is ca 5 cm long.



If you have any idea of what it could be or how old it is please let me know, thank you.

I have a book about buckles but I couldn’t find anything there. Luckily JamieD identified it as a integral buckle plate from the 13th to 14th century.
