Description: | Post Medieval - Modern silver buckle, probably from a shoe. The buckle frame is complete but the seperate pin and chape are missing. The frame is sub rectangular with rounded corners. The centre of each end is expanded inwards slightly. It is steeply curved in profile with an expansion at the centre of each side which is drilled to hold the spindle ends. On the inner side of one end is stamped the lion passant indicating it is sterling silver made in London. On the inner side of the other end is stamped a letter within a recessed field, probably an R. This is the date letter of the hallmark and indicates it was made in 1732/3. This suggested date is consistant with the buckle style. It is 25.5mm long by 18.7mm wide and 3.6mm thick, it weighs 3.67 grams.
