I have always understood those to be suspender buckles. I have one that says Paris on it and one with just the date of 1861. I think they are neat finds.

There was another discussion about a similar buckle's possible relationship to the Zouave uniform... but of course, this one is stamped "Germany" instead. I think rather than it being a CW relic, it's probably just a similar variety of a common style.

Anyhow, here is what recently appeared in the Whatzit threads:

I do believe it to be part of a suspender buckle also, by the size and the tine/s that would be the use for it. I can offer no information on the 3 G's and Germany Suspender buckles for the most part have Pat Numbers and other writings on them more than a normal buckle would.

If you'll read the other thread, you'll see that the one there actually says "SOLIDE" as well...

your looks original, can you check to see if it was "antiqued", aka made to look older, how heavy is it, is it hallow? pls check the metal content and really look at it closely

Don't think so, I found it in the ground
I have it somewhere, I'll check
