I believe it can safely be dated to this time frame due to its material, craftsmanship, and design.

This buckle is in incredible condition and still has it&#039;s latch and belt strap holder. </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1655935[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">Here are some Macedonia Shield coins that they based the buckle design from.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1655942[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1655944[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1655947[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1655948[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
