I bought something at the flea market over the weekend, and I don’t know what it is.
It is about 8” in length, and the metal is brass. I know it is a Marine Corps. Item. On the back of the brass, it is stamped England.
The leather looks like harness leather, and it is very well made.
Some have guessed it came off of a saddle, but as far as I know, Marines do not have horses.
I have attached some pics of the item. Do you know what it is?
The guy I bought it from said his father was a Marine, and he found this in the bottom of his father’s trunk.
