Description:
Model 1839 "baby" US beltplate. I can see the stubs of where the iron wire hooks went as shown in the scan from Mike O'Donnell's book. That would make this construction pre 1844 because heavier hooks were used from then on until this buckle was completely phased out for the common larger ones.
