Title: Re: ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE Post by: Chef Geoff on July 24, 2015, 03:52:08 PM As Chris says it's a receiving buckle plate, dating is a bit tricky as although they were worn in the late Georgian/Napoleonic era the same system are still used today.
When you say type 11a etc what reference are you using ??? Title: Re: ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE Post by: Val Beechey on July 24, 2015, 04:05:39 PM C.J. Metal Detecting Finds, Buckles through the Ages 14th - 15th cent. and yes it is the same.
Title: Re: ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE Post by: Resurgam on July 24, 2015, 06:23:13 PM I think the German military and our Boy Scouts all used a similar buckle. I think the German one was embossed with the message "Gott Mit Uns". But I didn't realise that the buckle design was so old.
