I usually have a grip on all pre 1812 relics but this has me stumped. Maybe a sword hanger? belt thing? Help always appreciated

May be part of an early Naval dress belt. I would try emailing Steve Sylvia at North/South Trader Magazine. Meanwhile, I'll see if I can get some help. Nice piece, David @ Dixie <center><a href="http://www.dixie-metal-detectors.com"><img src="/metal/html/d-m.jpg"></center>

I consulted with one of our top authorities and he feels the same; probably from a belt rig. Dating would be difficult, but feels 1800ish. Nice find, David

Thats a pretty cool find what ever it is.. sure looks like a ca 1800 syle navy device... appears to be stamped brass.. not quite sure when they started using stamped brass though... How big is it.. looks like the ring is at the top? then two holes for mounting to something else at the bottom? Almost looks like something they might mount to a horse saddle but not sure they used horses much in the navy <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="
