Dating a pair of shoe buckles

[populous38]

Hi guys; I wonder if anyone can help.
I have a nice pair of shoe buckles which only Lion Passant and makers initials. There are no duty marks so I'm guessing possibly pre 1784.
Wondered if anyone could help.
Appreciated as always.

Hi Gary,

Almost certainly Simon Levine, a known bucklemaker.
