Very cool unknown buckle

[BenVa68]

I dug this today at a new permission in southern Va. It was a site we discovered in the woods with an old stone fiundation. I believe its a sash buckle but im not really sure.

That's a great looking sash buckle Ben!
Most of the examples I find are relatively plain and utilitarian.

Why do you say its only half?

You have the hook part. The other half had a loop.
