Pre-Civil War British Naval Royal Dockyard Battalion Buckle Early 1800 Late 1700

Description

Royal Dock Yard Battalion buckle, excavated near Berryville Va.
This is a British Royal Navy item and what is unusual is why it was where it was found. Not being near any type of port, American or otherwise, one can only surmise that it was dropped by someone a long time ago. It is broken in 2 pieces but no other parts missing exc what was probably a hook on the reverse side.
No attempt has been made to straighten or restore the finish, it is as is when found.
There is a button in the British Royal Naval Museum with the same insignia, which likely dates this to early 1800 or late 1700.
Unusual one of a kind item.
Shipped USPS First Class with Insurance, tracking and signature confirmation.
