These are typical niello belt fittings for a shashqua or kindjhal. About half the fittings are hallmarked 84 and with a Russian town mark and one piece is dated 1863. These were worn typically by Cossack elements, but also sometimes by Russian women.

The double horse motif could refer to Hamburg or Brunswick, as there is a Party day badge for Hamburg with a very similar double horse motif, while Brunswick also used the horse as a central motif on its coat of arms. These are rare on account of the strong probability that the bulk of them were scrapped for their metal content during WW2.

This is the first pattern army buckle of the Czech Army, based on the structure of the old Imperial Russian design. Later it was replaced by an Austrian style design die struck in brass or steel. There are traces of an EPNS finish to both sides, with evidence of long sustained use.

A broken example of a fairly rare German railway official's buckle, missing its female portion. There is no maker mark and it is a mid-war production from zinc. Commissioned railway officers wore these, the railways being under quasi-military control in the Third Reich period.

This belt was introduced to complement the field grey service tunic in 1910. The cypher is that of Kaiser Wilhelm II. It is a die-struck example in pot metal with a gilt wash, so probably of war-time make.
