Herr General Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 A friend of mine found this item in the Reichswald, Germany. The site of Operation Veritable. But this is not World War Two, it looks older. Could it be Roman? Celtic etc? Anyone an idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mervyn Mitton Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Medieval - or, perhaps even Roman period. Could it be part of a breast plate - the upper suspender looks like a dog's head grasping the plate. You need to speak to a museum, it is very hard to tell just from a picture - probably will turn out to be part of a farm implement ! But, you can never be sure with these old excavated pieces. Did your friend go back and check the area out thoroughly ? Should metal detectors be allowed they could help - you may find it was a skirmish site ? p.s. from the patination, I would say bronze ? Please let us know if you do establish it's origins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
