[QUOTE="brianincnb, post: 425476, member: 10771"] hi Dron, I would date your buckle 1860-1870. why? well based on its construction, type, shape, its consistent with the date ranges in the book for buckles, that have registry stamps of that era. Goldpicks buckle above clearly depicts W.G.Grace, from wikipedia "..in 1866, he became widely recognised as the finest cricketer in England. Just after his eighteenth birthday in July 1866, Grace confirmed his potential with an innings of 224 not out for All-England against Surrey at The Oval" . The buckle depicts a mature man, so a good guestimate for Goldpick's buckle would be 1870-1875 cheers -b. [/QUOTE]
