Need Help with Buckle ID

[HomerGeech]

Found this afternoon in civil war camp in Northwest Georgia. Has no teeth like other slide type buckles I have found. Magnet will not stick to it. Made of thin what appears to be brass. I do not know if it is war period or not.

From construction. The bend over tabs. Probably 1930's +.
As to what it is. Buckle for some type of military strapping. WW-2 time period?

I think its a buckle protector or guard. Period as above.

Horse buckle protector is right Crusader.

To keep the horses hair from being stuck in the buckle.

Here's another one I found.

"Harness buckle shield" is the correct term.  The two-piece construction of yours probably puts it later than Civil War Era--probably Victorian or early 20th C. It is old though, and it is a good find.
