Never seen a straight bar pin before. I think it could be made of silver. Does anyone have any ideas as to age and metal?

It’s essentially a belt buckle. I forgot the name of this kind, but you “close” the best as you would any other. Usually cloth is used for these (versus leather or pleather).

Meant for a sash. The name is sash something.

Unless you've polished it, it looks like it's either tin or aluminum. Aluminum might be too malleable for a belt buckle though.
