This morning I found this buckle (dating to 1804-1814) at one of my favorite sites.

Very nice, looks like part of a two piece sword hangar, I thought it was Bavarian as I found one piece similar to yours here in Bavaria but, the French were also here and mine also dates to the early 1800s. Might be another piece there, keep hunting. HH, Mike

Wow!!! Amazing find Folkert! I was looking for something like that before I left but it wasn't meant to be. Did you find that around Frankfurt?

Excellent buckle. Grats on finds.

awesome find...and strikingly similar to mine....minus the gilt. I have not seen one identical to mine yet...and yours is the closest as it looks smaller. What are the measurements??

Wicked buckle, what an absolute ripper. Gotta be happy with that.
I'm assuming it's military maybe worn by an officer.
Thanks for sharing.
