Greyman 25,220 Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Don’t no anything about it mate but nice find, looking at the two little lugs on the back I’d suggest it may have been attached to a leather strap or something 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arry 18,570 Posted October 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Was wondering if it might be of 1688 William off a Orange solder. William or Orange landed in Brixham and marched to Berry Pomeroy Castle but held his first parliament in a house one field away he had 14000 troops with him. So was thinking they would have been spread out a bit with pickets on high ground. I need something to tie it in so to speak. Also found a lot of buttons and 2 thimbles. Copper coins but faces worn off them. Cheers Arry Edited October 16, 2022 by Arry 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
