Title Bavarian other ranks waist belt clasp, 1896 model
Nationality German
Period c 1900
Sold

These buckles were worn by the Bavarian infantry and artillery units in the Great War. They were introduced in 1896 at the same time as the patterns of Prussia, Wurtemberg, etc.

A good example of this buckle, but the surface has suffered in the past from mild corrosion, which has been cleaned off, leaving a very faintly pickled finish.

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.
