Title Leeds City police/fire brigade officer's belt buckle
Nationality British
Period c 1890
Sold

These buckles, with the hanging lamb of the Leeds city coat of arms, would have been worn by officers of local fire brigade and police units. The other ranks would have worn a buckle and tongue type construction waist belt. This is a typical late 19th-century white metal buckle with an EPNS silver finish, which is now a little worn.

testimonials

Today I received your flag. It's very nice and looks genuine to me. Beautifull crisp colors! It looks barely used. It's a nice addition to my ww2 collection. I would even say, one of my top pieces.

Thanks for your excellent service and top communication!

I will check your site more often to see if you have more nice pieces.

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.
