Peter Orincsay Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 This Hungarian Honvéd belt buckle found it´s way to my collection not long ago. Today I finally had some time to put it under my camera and take some detailed photographs of it and share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Orincsay Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Since I try to buy items of a special interest I also knew I had an old photograph of the belt buckle in use. Collecting old photographs and researching in Austro-Hungarian World War 1 history, i have seen the Honvéd belt buckle very rarely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iver Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi Peter.. As far as I know, there were two types of k.u. Honvéd buckle, have to look tomorrow in my "archive" if I have also photos.. Here in Slovakia I have seen a lot of photos of A-H soldiers wearing Honvéd buckle. At least so much as soldiers wearing classic A-H buckle (kuk Heer, ladwehr) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Orincsay Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 I´d love to see more photographs with the belt buckle in wear. The posted photograph is the only one i have. I know there is this other type as well, but i´m not familiar with what the difference were between the two in the uniform regulations. And unfortunately i don´t have the other type in my collection either! (I had to pick two photos from a dealers site on-line for this illustration) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I had to pick two photos from a dealers site on-line for this illustration) Hi Peter, Yours one is an 1891M belt buckle (very nice ) and the 2nd one is a 1911M for enlisted soldiers in the Royal Hungarian Army. They are heavily faked and private purchased versions as well... Regards, NaVi Edited September 27, 2009 by NaVi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
