Imperial German Enlisted Man\'s Brass Belt Buckle with Belt, Kingdom of Prussia:
$275.00
Imperial Germany was made up of four Kingdoms, several Grand Duchies, Duchies and Principalities. The largest Kingdom was Prussia.
All of the component parts of the empire contributed forces to the military and had different insignias. The belt buckles were for the most part limited to the kingdoms and stopped at the duchies. The brass of this buckle is muted and has a nice patina with some Verdi Gris. This is a Pre-War issue buckle and belt that measures a bit under 40\". By 1916 nothing shiny went to the front for obvious reasons, at this point all leather was ordered to be dyed black and issued belt buckles were a variety of subdued non-reflective colors. This item is rare in that it has a pre-war brass buckle marked to the VII Army Corps. The belt was dyed black and has a rough surface, and is marked size 100 as well as B 1A VII to a unit in the VII Army Corps. This buckle is dented, this is common. 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the Great War. Collectibles from this era are certainly going to increase in value and rarity.
