Question
I'm trying to identify a round brass disk marked 'US'. The disk is 1 and 3/4 inches across. The 'US' letters are in the middle of the disk and are approx. 3/4 inches tall. there is a 'square' shape buckle on the back....its approx. 1 and 1/4 inches long. There is 1/2 inch clearance from the back of the disk to the buckle. I don't think that this is a belt buckle....perhaps it's an army buckle for a piece of equipment.If you're interested, I can send you a few pictures. I appreciate any information you can provide. Thanks Mark

Yes, please forward me a picture. Tell you what here and to southron_98@hotmail.com. Take a look at this and see if it is a breast plate? http://www.regtqm.com/buckles.htm Thank you

No, I was wrong Look under tack and accessories, then look for 1859 Style 6 buckle headstall. You can see an example of a star design rosette. Those are bridle rosettes. The attached to the bridle at the browband. They were not a a real common thing on U.S. bridles. Mostly an early war thing; this is in no way endorsing Snellen saddlery, as they are far from historically accurate reproductions, but the picture shows a rosette on the bridle. Sorry.
