    Help Identify Unknown Buckle


    Recommended Posts

    Gentlemen,

    I'm having a hell of a time putting an ID on this buckle. Assume European, but one never knows. Very high quality piece, chamferred tongue, appears to be bronze gilt. Any thoughts?

    Thank you!

    The Star, eagle and wreath combo is very Yugoslavian style, probably air force.

    Usually has the torch on the bottom if its socialist it can't be Kingdom since Kingdom has the crown on top.

    I've never seen that combo before, very interesting I'm assuming its for an officer, Enlisted don't usually get a fancy bucklet, it almost looks like a badge ?

    Hi Rogi,

    Thanks for that! I had a search around the web using that info and feel confident it's Yugoslavian. Is it possible that, based on your observations, it would represent an interim period - post kingdom but pre-communism?? Yes, it is quite like a large badge, very well struck and certainly officer quality.

    Regards,

    Could you post a picture of the back please? :) It might be missing a section :S but I want to double check on the reverse :)

    P.S. There is no interim period between Kingdom and Socialism, you either had the star or the crown on your orders :) It may be that something has fallen off the buckle but from what I can see in that one picture it looks intact.

    There are also a couple other nations near Yugoslavia that have had similar designs. So it might not entirely be Yugoslavian, I'll have to check a couple of my final books and then let you know.
