Title
Post-medieval buckle: Royal Navy belt buckle
Description
English: One half of a cast copper alloy military sword belt buckle, dating to the late 18th / early 19th century AD. The buckle has a D-shaped frame with the curve of the D bearing the cast design of a male lion's head. The back of the D forms the rectangular loop for the strap attachment. At the front of the buckle is a loop set perpendicular to the main frame, which would have clasped one end of the S - (or 'snake buckle') fitting. An idential buckle would have been located at the other side of the S-clasp. Trapezoidal buckles with lion head terminals would also have been part of the set. These buckles are Royal Navy Officer sword belt fittings dating from c. AD 1750-1815 and are often termed Napoleonic buckles, however they are a British issue.

Examples of similar, associated buckles recorded on the PAS database include: HAMP2795, IOW-3C6B17, SUR-329DB4, SUR-3FAC35, IOW-C96773, WILT-925D83, HAMP-A84EB5, SUSS-24BD92 and NARC-95AC22. This style of buckle has been found on HMS Innocence (from the second half of the 18th century), and in Spanish colonial military occupation sites in America, dating from 1808 to 1814.
