As I stated in an earler post These were found at the site of a pre civil war plantation site.
These two buckles were discovered along with the 1861 colt trigger guard. Do you have any information on them, please.
Largest 2-1/4 by 1-3/4. No marks.
Smallest 2 inches by 1-1/2. no marks.
Both have remains of silver gilt?
Thanks!
DG

Delete or disreguard that one. Your eyes are much better than mine. It says solid brass and country of orgin appears to be china.
I had to put it under a lighted magnifier.....

I double checked the large one with lighted magnifier...no marks..

Its amazing what will appear on a picture that cant be easily noticed otherwise.

It looks like a belt buckle. 1 down one to go. :D

The top one looks like the middle tongue prong(word?) is missing.
