It looks like a repeated pattern to me......I was hoping for a code though I was ready to get my cipher books out lol. If it is a part of a buckle it has similar markings to no.35 ( bottom of page) on the website below. http://www.netmarshall.co.uk/bucklepage2.htm (http://www.netmarshall.co.uk/bucklepage2.htm) Title: Re: one for the Doc, code???
