This a copper-alloy belt fitment with moulded lion's head design. The fitment was attached to the belt via its rectangular loop, and is one of a pair that formed a clasp fastener. Clasps of this general type were in use on military uniform from the Napoleonic period onwards, and were still in use on dress uniform in the early 20th century.

Don't know about them but I did have a 'Waspy Belt' back in the 60's  16inches long had to stretch to fit. Mind you that was when I'd still got a waist-line. Roll Eyes
