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.

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.

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.
