WTF  Shocked I think you need to work on your Uri Geller impersonation a little more Grin

However I do like the 'strap end'. Kinda reminds me of an old fashioned window latch  Roll Eyes

Still, a productive day, nice finds m8

just an update on the so called 'strap end' .. it turns out to be a harness pendant 13th to 15th century in date.
