Description: | Post Medieval cast copper-alloy double-loop sub-rectangular buckle frame with seperate spindle, chape and pin. The frame is plain with rounded corners and oval swellings in the centre of each outer edge and the top and bottom sides. In profile it is slightly bowed with swells in the centre of the top and bottom edge which are drilled for the iron spindle. The pin is flat and triangular in plan, tapering sharply to a point. The chape has a wide section by the spindle with slightly incurved sides widening to a carination below which it narrows, the end is broken. The makers mark, D. SWIFT is stamped on the reverse of the chape. It is 23.3mm long by 19.5mm wide, 3.9mm thick and weighs 4.40 grams. Whitehead (2003, p.103) illustrates a similarly plain buckle, e.g. no.663, which he dates to c.1690 to 1720 AD. It is probably a shoe buckle.
