This is engraved with a design that includes "K O S B" & the King's Own Scottish Borderers pre-1881 regimental designation "XXV".
It does'nt appear to be plated, perhaps it's silver, I'm not sure.
It's presumably a fitting for the end of a cross strap or belt, it's got 2 little holes in it, one punched from th front, one from the rear, which seems a bit strange whether they're for pins to mount it on the belt or a couple of nails to mount it on a board for display.
It's about 3" wide.
does anybody know exactly what it is & from which period please?
