Cricket buckle dug yesterday...

[tailormarc]

Hey guys, dug this cricket buckle yesterday. Thought it was just another buckle untill we cleaned it and seen the cricket bats up top and wickets and ball down the bottom. Anyone know if this is a rare one?
TIA!

That's a pretty one! It looks like it may have had some sort of medallion attached in the oval that's been pried out.
Nice find though! Love the old cricket buckles.

Cheers,
Megsy
