[QUOTE="brianincnb, post: 498976, member: 10771"] hi Sandta, thats in very good condition. I would like to walk across that buckle! :) One statistic I didn't think about, and a reviewer of the 2nd release of the buckle book suggest, was tracking location and number seen of each buckle. Your find, from memory, I've seen > ~5 times.. On UK sites, and the rest here in Australia. Its quite a good buckle design, and I would envisage it being a popular wear choice when picking a cricket belt from a trader or store here in Oz in the 1857-1870's. 1857 is the earliest reference in a Trove newspaper of an auction of a ships cargo/wares which also contained cricket belts. All the samples of seen of this cricket buckle do not bear a registry mark on the back of the buckle plate or the buckle plate tongue. Attached is a pic showing what the buckle looked like, undug, worn from use, from a UK collector. Its in gold gilding, but it could of been silver. in v4 draft, I've got buckle centre-pieces, the same, but in gold on one buckle, silver on the other.
