An excellent source of information on names of artefacts. Sometimes it seems a bit off (chape as a belt tip when it is usually on a sheath) which does not fit even the ODE which says in the second meaning that it can be the metal pin of a buckle or when it says a belt mount when I think they are generally called mountings. However, it is a great place to start and for finding a roughly valid term for those bits and bobs from the field research it is quite good.
