Unknown brass buckle

[DiggerKid2003]

Grandpa found it years ago and I found it in one of his junk boxes. Can anyone help me ID it?

I've never seen a buckle like that. It looks like some sort of hanger to me.

Someone with more knowledge than I, will be along shortly.

Good luck to you sir!

Yeah. It’s called a “frog”. Specifically off of a M1905 sling. Though BAR slings have them too.

I’m jealous! Surplus M1905s are difficult to find here at best. I have 3 Garands, am 03a3, and an M1a that are all woefully lacking. If you ever want to unload any of those, let me know. The commercial ones are just garbage with few exceptions.
