Button and Buckle

Post by Steve »

I need a bit of help with these 2 items.

First is a Button/stud approx 30mm diameter, as you can see from the pic it has a plume of 5 feathers across the middle. the reverse is plain.

The second item is a double loop buckle approx 20mm square.

Buckle is 17th century but am unsure wether it is a spur buckle or a shoe buckle.....similar designs, but 17th century is good B-)
Nice finds...
