It looks like those pull through buckles that were on those old metal roller skates. No holes in the straps. They tightened by friction as the leather doubled through the buckle.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

I have hundreds of buckles but not this one! could be any age from the last 90 years but probably worked by friction for adjustment, well made so it had a critical purpose "other than holding up your pants".........HH....Johnnn

That would make a lot of sense. Lots of hunters here in the past. I've found many empty/broken cartridges in the woods. They give you a weak penny signal. The buckle has nothing in the back, but as John pointed out, it looks too strong for a shoe or pants. For a rifle web strap makes more sense. I have also found a few late 1800s bullets that I posted here months ago.

John, read Seldom's last post here. Do you have rifle web straps among your buckles?

Interesting. It seems that this buckle is not too common. Undecided

Thanks for your input
