Part of a parachute?
Can anyone confirm that attached image is from a part of a parachute or a plane? The part is found in the neightbourhood of a crashplace of a Lancaster in Oene ( Community Epe) 21-22 June 1944 in Holland.
Best regards Gerrit

It is a parachute quick release buckle.

Very much like these-three German and one British. The British one was used 1 Dec 40 and the lack of damage could indicate that yours was used?
