A nice find for sure.
Here is the link to The Australian Detectorist Recovered Cricket Buckle Book
Iâm yet to find a cricket buckle but they came in a huge range of designs. They seem to be more about the game itself than actual teams but there were teams and tours as well.
I think the âThe Ball Claspâ was a bag for carrying cricket balls. A cricket belt probably signified a person was a âgentlemanâ but it was good to see some prisoners wearing cricket belts in the book.

Buckle all right , sadly no registration diamond . While it looks like a pear i wonder if it could of been a punching bag , which would make it a boxing buckle ? But it does look like a branch with leaves and fruit , strange one indeed !

Seen that you mention âBrians buckle bookâ is that a private book or one you can buy? I would love to date the buckle I have found over the years, I did some of the history of these buckle`s very interesting, but I would love to know more
