Help to ID new Soviet buckle with SKS rifles

[Norman ben Nathan]

Just acquired this unusual buckle.

Appears to be chrome plated brass.

It has a 50's style hook.

Any input as to its use would be greatly appreciated.

I did look on the net and it was described as a "guards" buckle like in a gulag. The internet isn't always gospel!

Thank you!

Actually they might be crossed Mosin-Nagant carbines model of 1938 or 1944.

This has to do with non-military security. Vohr.                https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/ВОХР_(охрана)

Thank you Sergey.

Do you know if this was worn on a brown or black leather belt?

Thank you.

what kind of belt was on that vohrovets and wore, but most often the source is a soldier's belt - canvas or later brown.

Thank you chechaco1.

VOHR is a civil guard with a weapon, often, as they are called in Russia, "starper" - an old fart. Therefore, compliance with the form is only nominal, they will recognize you as a vohrovets, and that's good, there is a cap - and that's enough )

Thank you chechacol1.

So they are basically Russian Rent-A-Cops, but older!

Starper-my new favorite Russian word.?
