    I have yet to find an early shoe buckle like that (very much on my wish list) we would list it as 1660's to about 1690 here in America , curious as to what the Midieval buckle's function was ! I sure wish I could still see grass here Willems , don't you guys get winter over there ?

    Nice start to the New Year Willems! Envious that you're still getting out. -20F this morning here in Burlington, VT with a foot of snow and the ground is frozen down to at least that deep. I'd need a jackhammer or back hoe to do any digging up here right now.
