Title Prussian waist belt clasp, other ranks
Nationality German
Period c 1916-18
Sold

This die-struck steel buckle would have been worn throughout the Prussian army in the latter years of the war, replacing the traditional 1895 pattern Prussian army other ranks buckle, brass with a nickel silver centrepiece. It has most of its original field grey wash (applied to both sides).

It is stamped 'OEL' to the reverse, which may stand for 'Offenberg - Engels & Co, Ludenscheid'. The size of the lettering (larger than normal) may indicate post-war ownership by this factory for use on a display board or as a sample.

I am just dropping your company a line to say thank you for the 2nd WW Iron Cross, that my brother has purchased off your site Thursday evening. We received it 1st class today and it is in excellent condition. Many thanks again.
