Imperial Prussian Army Belt Buckle

Germany > German Empire > Belt Buckles >

An example of an Imperial Prussian Army Belt Buckle! The buckle is constructed out of a die struck, steel base that has been green painted. The obverse depicts the Imperial king's crown which is then encircled by detailed lines and enclosed by two twisted ropes. The crown is above a laurel leaf and berry wreath and below the Army motto: "GOTT MIT UNS" (God with us), which all lies on a smooth background. The steel prongs and catch remain in great condition. The obverse retains good detail with wear to the high areas. It measures approximately 2 ½ inch wide by 2 inches high. A nice piece!
