Romania Romanian Patriotic Guard & Young Pioneer Pictures

The lower I would say is post Revolution period

pre 1945 Buckles as far as I recall had a crown

rather the coat of Arms.

Yes The bottom buckle is current military insignia..it is the same as on the desert hat used in Iraq and Afghanistan.I think the seller of the bottom belt put the buckle with an RSR era belt or maybe it was issued that way using old stores .

Hallo Ian,

was out with the wife today at the local "Gypsy Market" as the locals call it

and believe it or not, I picked up an original period belt and "R.S.R." Buckle.

Length:- 108 cm

Width:- 4 cm

Colour:- Dark Brown.

Condition:- Used but complete, even with the belt loop.

It was on the ground under a load of other gear what caught my eye

was the brass hook tip of the belt.

also stitched and riveted.
