Title Natal Royal Regiment Artillery waist buckle, ORs
Nationality British Empire
Period c 1900
Currently under offer

This waist belt clasp would have been worn by the enlisted men of the NRRFA, which was raised in Natal in the early years of the 20th century. It would probably have gone on a white buff leather belt, possibly with sword slings, and would probably have been worn for parade only.

The condition is fine and it even has an old lead seal on it with 'EED' impressed. However, it is missing its female part.

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
