horse tack, the curve look's like it should face you? bk
are the edges beveled on the inside of the curve.

 

[Garabaldi]

Yes the inside curve part is beveled. So, does this clinch horse tack? I was hoping human buckle.

I'm not sure what kind of bukle it is but it looks colonial.

 

[Garabaldi]

I found this at the site I have found tons of colonial artifacts and coins. It seemed to me it was colonial also.

We have some buckle experts here but I am definitely not one of them, but I agree, old colonial. Im thinking a trapezoidal spur buckle. Nice find. http://www.reenactor.ru/ARH/PDF/Whitehead.pdf

Bigcy, great book. I will look through it.

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

It resembles the buckle top right front cover.

 

[Garabaldi]

I agree, but one thing that is different. I found an end with a broken edge and a groove. What could have been attached at the end?

 

[Garabaldi]

Also, one side has a sharper angle than the other. I took a picture with a straight edge to show teh difference. Seems something may have been attached to the side also, but isn't clear.

WOW. I would be pleased with that. I have found a few.
