This is a beautiful relic Dave!
Could it have been a pot hanger for cooking over a fire?

Awesome Buckle... and actually a pretty awesome spider web, I think they should all die by fire ...Someday I hope to travel a little further south and be able to find some Civil War Relics...

Nice Finds! The plate appears to be #714 in the American Military Belt Plates book and is New York City Police waist belt plate 1875-1900. It is missing the tongue. WTG, Quindy.

That's a beautiful buckle and was probably worn on a dress uniform at many funeral services for NY policemen killed in the line of duty. That's something to be proud of Bud. Cherish it, Quindy.

The one in your link does not appear to have a concave center on the back like yours and the one in the O Donnell/Duncan book does. HH, Quindy.
