    Here are some model 1895 Prussian Buckles from my collection. First up is a Tombak M95 made from 1895 to 1897 ONLY. It has the Christian cross with rays on the crown. During 1897 this was changed to an Iron Cross. Notice the small roundel.

    Here is an early wartime made M95. On these the roundel was either plated (and wore off) or left plain brass. Nickel was desperately needed for the making of armor steel as was used in artillery pieces etc. Later in the war for the steel helmets and bullet proof shields.
