Title Prussian Army officer's 1910 model field service belt and buckle
Nationality German
Period 1910-18
Price £200.00

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.

The leather extends to 113cm in length and is still supple, with expected age wear. It has a dark stain some 7cm long, starting about 20cm from the end of the tongue. The face plate retains some 50% of the original finish.

These belts were not as robustly built as the OR's type and thus had a much lower survival rate.
