Tom Y Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Well, looks like I've been volunteered to host this forum, so after some gentle persuasion from Rick R. (and liberal application of the knout) I'll get to work. Buckles aren't my strong subject, but I'll give it a go. Guess I'll start off with my meager collection.Prussian EM, painted steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Y Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 Another officer's buckle. There are no traces of gilt, so I imagine it was for field wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
