Early Silver French Knee Buckle

[romeo-1]

Got out for a hour this afternoon in the blazing hot sun and was rewarded for my efforts! Early French silver knee buckle...dates from 1660-1720! Found it in two pieces in the hole. Found the chape first and was happy with that and about to fill in the hole when I gave it a final swing and got another high tone and pulled out the frame!

Whew, almost missed the frame! Glad you found it! It must be solid silver, from its appearance. What a wonderful find!

Now that's a beautiful piece of our history you saved right there my friend!
Great research on it's background history too. It should be cooling down a bit here by Sunday.

Nice early buckle, pretty sure its not solid silver though.
Why French? (we find these, wasn't aware they were imported)
