Gentlemen,
A question has puzzled me for a while now, so I'd like to hear some opinions from you guys. As we all know, the Feldbinde became part of the Dragoon officer's service uniform at the end of the 19th century and was worn into WW1. The buckle was either gold or silver plated depending on the tunic button colour (same for the leather Feldbinde during wartime). However, 1915 regulations stated the new Feldbluse of all dragoon regiments (except the Garde and Rgt.17) to have white buttons; so was the Feldbinde buckle also followed the changes? Although the Feldbinde appear lesser in the late war period, but they still can be seen in worn from time to time. I can't find specified text about this in my reference books. I hope someone can help me with this.
Many thanks,
Jvpi
As for now, I put a Feldbinde with silver buckle on my Dragoon officer's Feldbluse, matching the button colour. Photos attached below:
