Mervyn Mitton Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Not a commonly seen item - although worn in Full Dress by Generals and Field Marshalls in the British and Allied Forces. The best place to see one being worn is H.R.H. The Prince Phillip - when wearing his uniform as a Field Marshall. (Now a discontinued rank)This splendid example belonged to a major general in the Rhodesian army -( now Zimbabwe). In the 18th. century general's wore a folded type sash - made from either silk or, a type of netting - this is the modern decendent.The belt is beautifully made and of very high quality in both materials and workmanship - I will show the inside and it is clear that it is all hand made.

ccj Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 That's very nice. What's the strap and buckle for on the inside, size adjustment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 I think it has to be - but, what keeps the 'buckle' area central? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
