I was looking to place some relics of the same period in a riker box. Solid brass and unadorned. Searching various web sites I have not nailed it down. Hoping someone knows these.http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/Detecting%20finds/b95402d8.jpghttp://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/Detecting%20finds/7302339e.jpghttp://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af176/idigther/Detecting%20finds/688517e7.jpg

Bruce i at first thought those brass loops and such resembled a sword hanger , wishful thinking i guess :embarrassed: they are in fact harness related (oxen or horse) some are called gagloops heres a picture of a couple in an old farming advertisement
