Any ideas

[Dunimal]

These finds were found in separate fields in cornwall. The first two appear to be cloak clasps, any help identifying them or suggestions would be great and date . I'm unsure what the last item is so any thoughts appreciated
Thanks

Cloak or sword belt 'buckle/hasp', circa 1850s. (Lion Heads)

The other item is interesting, I've never had one, but it rings a bell, it looks similar to a 17th C Sword Belt Fittment.

Yeap, it is a circa 16-17th C sword belt fitting.

The Right Lions head is slightly earlier, although I know of 19th C examples as well, they had a S or snake shaped piece on the other side of the belt that hooked into the loop.

The left Lion one, if not broken may have been the cloak type that went around the lower neck area, these tend to be 19th C, but I would need to see the reverse?

Reverse side of both

The bottom one, is as previously IDed, a sword belt hasp, the other one must be the same but missing its rectangle attachment?
