the shape and design seems to fit late 17th early 18tyh century 1660 - 1720 ish. the book is well worth getting [and cheap] cheers book info can be found here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Buckles-1250-1800-Ross-Whitehead/dp/189773817X (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Buckles-1250-1800-Ross-Whitehead/dp/189773817X) Title: Re: What type of buckle is this and how old is it?
