Title: Buckle for I.D. Post by: 150aceboy on May 10, 2010, 10:59:58 AM Can anyone possibly I.D. a buckle i found yesterday, and give a rough age etc, please.
The little bar on side swivels and even the tang still moves easily. Thanks for your time Ace ;) Title: Re: Buckle for I.D. Post by: zorro on May 10, 2010, 12:29:34 PM Paul in Ross Whithead's book "Buckles 1250-1800" there is a very similar one, page 89 no.554. under the heading
"Cast copper-alloy double loop rectangular buckles with drilled frames for separate spindles: c1350-1450" hope this helps mate. nice find ;) Title: Re: Buckle for I.D. Post by: coinhunter on May 10, 2010, 04:17:08 PM Nice find ace (Dad) :)

Thanks Kev Ace ;) Title: Re: Buckle for I.D. Post by: The Doc on May 10, 2010, 09:47:30 PM Sorry Kev, posted on Josh's thread first.
The buckle is a medieval 'locking' buckle, dates 1350-1450, see here: http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showcat.php?cat=192&stype=1&si=locking&perpage=12&sort=1&stype=&limit=&cat=192&ppuser (http://www.ukdfd.co.uk/ukdfddata/showcat.php?cat=192&stype=1&si=locking&perpage=12&sort=1&stype=&limit=&cat=192&ppuser) Title: Re: Buckle for I.D.
