    The Parade Belt of the Hungarian People's Army


    Recommended Posts

    Gents,

    This is the parade belt from the HPR times with the crest of those times on the buckle. It worth mentioning, that those parade belts did not belong to the personnel. Those were given out for generals, officers and men concerned only on special occasions like a parade or for standard bearers, etc. (It was the same with the parade swords too.) After the event those belts had to be returned.

    …Well, but here comes the exception. This piece is a present from the minister of defence. On rare occasions the minister made these kinds of presentations for a few general officers and officers who actively participated in organising that given event. In such cases the buckle was duly engraved, like in this picture. This particular belt was a present, a memento from the minister General of the Army Lajos Czinege to a Major General after the parade on 4th April 1980.
