Does Anyone Know What This Is ? -- perhaps Mexican

[Bill]

It's Pizarro.
They threw it out because it's useless.

It looks like part of a horse bridle or something

I was thinking maybe it went on a saddle, but the sword scabbard sling sounds more logical.

It's most likely a sword belt or "sabre belt". I can find lots of similar looking pieces using those search terms along with "round buckle". The buckle could be lead filled, as well. Many military buckles were.

I think the key to unlocking your mystery is, "Who is the dude on the buckle?". Determine that, and you should be able to find out everything else.

Design wise, the item looks like a over the shoulder sling, for attaching sword scabbards to.

Whatever it is, it seems like a strange item to throw out?

Yeah---I keep ALL my sword scabbard slings.

Time to call the History Detectives.
Ask for the hot chick or you might get that librarian-looking one.

It's not marked at all ... But there's a 99.999% chance the person who threw it out is a Mexcan from Mexico ... That's what makes me suspect it's Mexican.
We used to live kind of in the sticks and the farm workers really didn't leave the farm to much -- and when they did, it was to buy groceries and beer at the local store.

Well...Mexico was under both Spanish and French rules at one point or another...so that dude could be either Spanish or French.

[Hector]

Now it could very well be a Spanish historical figure and not Mexican.

Well, it's not any of the Mexican presidents and its two emperors...I can't find a resemblance in any of them...

List of Presidents of Mexico - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francisco Madero is the only one that sort of looks like that person in the belt buckle.

[toys2cool]

Is it marked Mexico? if not there's always the possibility...I just think that who it looks like

[Mikey]

But if it's Mexican, which I really suspect it is ... would they own a Russian dude belt ?

It looks like Nicholas Romanov to me
