using whiteheads book, it looks as if it fits in with the 1250 to 1400 period

Unfortunately Whiteheads is useless if it's potentially Saxon as his buckles don't go back that far.

Thanks Ian that's much better, as Alan says it could be later but it does have a slight hint of the top of the semicircle being concave which fits more with the Early Medieval type and given a Saxon Chatelaine and a Conquest coin has come up then I would probably pin it to that era.
