Help ID this Buckle
- Thread starter moliver3
- Start date
..................dates well before the Civil War! 
What you have there, is a shoe buckle from the American Colonial period. That particular style will date ca. 1770-1800, I believe. Really is quite rare to find those early shoe buckles complete, still intact, and including the center piece (as I recall that part is called the chape). Usually, only parts and pieces are all we relic hunters find.
Congrats!
