militaria item Prussian Army officer's 1910 model field service belt and buckle
- German
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.

militaria item Oldenburg or Baden officer's dress belt and buckle
- German
This 'feldbindung' or officer's dress belt was introduced in 1896 to replace the schaerpen (a sort of bullion cummerbund with large tassels) throughout the German army. Baden and Oldenburg shared both the design of the buckle (with the Imperial crown replacing the royal one) and the braid of the belt (with its characteristic thin red stripe).

militaria item Reichspost telegraph boy's belt buckle
- German
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.

militaria item Brunswick Fire Brigade belt buckle, 2nd pattern
- German
This two-piece aluminium buckle is in excellent condition. Note the loss of 'Gott mit uns' to the face plate. This buckle was the post-war replacement for the 1st pattern and the Nazi motif variety.

The day the blunderbuss arrives I could not stop looking and feeling the gun for at least one hour. My wife told me that I was sick........ I am very happy, it is a piece of craftsmanship! Well made! I have 5 blunderbusses but all iron barrel, also from England but this one is gorgeous with the Brass Barrel.

Please keep me informed when you have any other type of blunderbuss. Thanks my friend!
