KRIEGSMARINE OFFICER'S BUCKLE
Nice example of the small, gilt (for a Line Officer) finished buckle this being simply a smaller sized representation of the larger version worn on the Navys brocade dress belt. Buckles like this were used to secure the belt (not included) which held the Navy dagger; the dagger belt was normally out of sight, but other than for the half again as small size, theres no other real difference the design motif is exactly the same! The gilt finish is 100%. The permanently mounted keeper remains affixed; Nicely aged example!
