Fibula?

I would like to know by what authority or historic evidence you might have to prove that these type of Baldric fasteners were not used.

Well, we can not prove they were not used that way. But can you show any evidence suggesting they were? Neither can you, I guess.

As I also suggested many times before, these items are always found in context of horsegear (if the context is listed, that is). We even have them as part of horsegear phalera, so we can make up a good view of which straps made use of these fasterners, which one where out of one piece and which ones had a buckle.
