Small Weimar buckle

[lach470]

Hey gang...you might have seen this buckle before but I am dying to find out who was issued this small trouser buckle? It certainly looks military in nature....anyhow...I'm stumped.

Any information or leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking gang.

The rear has the slide type of catch....no prongs on this little guy:

Here it is with its more common "big brother"....the small buckle also looks like it had a gold wash to it....only small remnants remain in the nooks and crannies.

Here's their "backsides".....heheheh

Again....any solid info on who was issued these small trouser buckles would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe it belonged to a child's play uniform?

Here's a WW1 example in wear

That's certainly a possibility...great pic by the way!

I'd love to nail this shut ....anyone have any reference books that cover the weimar period?

Thanks Rick....appreciate the picture and your time
