looks like it could be. is it curved at all?
 

Not sure what use for that one, nice find either way, here is a colonial spanish artifact site, one my shoe buckles is on this page, I thought it was a knee buckle but the owner of the site said it was a 1720's era shoe buckle. See if anything is similar to yours........

Very nice !
 

Knee buckles have the shaft horizontal on the frame, yours is vertical. I'm going to say that it is not a knee buckle.
 

Nice buckle, congrats!
 

My vote is on sash buckle as well. It has that look. Most shoe and knee buckles are fairly heavy duty, but the sash buckles are thinner and "dainty". I can't believe I actually used that word. Lol
 

ITS A SA' SHA BUCKLE AND A DANG NICE ONE ......
