MY BEST BUCKLE

[dugupfinds]

Tested as high grade silver dating to the early 1500s.

Probably a spur buckle

Man that is nice. Would sure love to find a buckle like that one. Definately looks to be of great quality. Wonder if it came from a famous maker of its time?

Way too early for hallmarks.

I just thought that since London City Marks were introduced in 1300, Date Letters in 1478, & Makers Marks in 1363, that the Buckle
might be marked! Forgive me if I'm wrong!

No not marked. - Should have said "Way before commonly used hallmarks"

There were many other makers other than London and even there only the finest pieces were marked.

Too bad there's no Marks! Still one Beautiful Piece!
