Will look later at the ring when i come back from the Tin mines

[Jayreef]

That's a bit different, will have a look tonight

[Jayreef]

i have looked around, and i really don't know

i would put that on UKDFD for sure, they have the books

my gut reaction would be post medieval, but if someone proved it to be a lot older, i would take there word for it without a doubt

[Shufly]

I dont think it is a ring , but I am not sure what else it could be, except maybe a harness, or belt mount

[piersc]

just a couple of questions
is the end of the long piece finished or broken? and what size is the piece?
the throw of the long piece looks like it is the wrong shape for a finger ring

[Shufly]

Its shape reminds me more of a Fob Seal, but I dont think its that either?

[Jayreef]

its the "pattern" all over the outside and inside that i can not get my head round

[rustynail]

Although it may at first seem like a ring, I don't think that it is. It doesn't look as though it would fit comfortable on anyone's fingers, and even very old rings tend to be almost perfectly round. Could it be some sort of toggle?

[gofindit]

Is the green enamelling?

[bmcleod]

end piece broken

[bmcleod]

its only 20 mm to small for a scouts toggle

[rustynail]

It shows that I was never in the scouts, dazza. It's no good, Im going to have to stop posting when it's past my bedtime...
