Help I.D type Buckle and year range

[Shadowmanflash]

Posted this on Todays finds, but no help on I.D. someone suggested posting here, someone wil know or have good guess. I know it's some type of buckle I assume for horses, maybe some type of strap piece, any help on i.d and year range would be appreciated.
The other stuff is what I have found so far this year, wasn't able to get out much, but not to bad I guess. You can find items under today's finds, look for my name it's under shadowman. Thanks Ken.

A good guess would be horse related. ...a trace carrier.

Any idea on a year range. Hopefully someone will tell us more, thanks, Ken.

Appears to be 19th century.

Thanks Sanpit, at least a good guess is better than what I know. I believe it is pretty old to and I also think it's from some type of horse or livestock eqipment. Hoping somone can get more exact for me in time. Finding other metal pieces as well, like rings and solid bars with holes at the ends, very heavy and look like this to as far as wear and age. Thanks for hollering, Ken.

How big is the buckle?

Mid to late 1800's horse buckle. IMO

Hey Crekol, the buckle size is:
3 1/8 inches long
width on one end is 1 3/4 inches
width on other end 2 1/8 inches
Stud is 3/4 inch

Thanks for your help
