A reasonably clean piece, maker marked 'S.H.OSANG / DRESDEN / 1914'. It is also stamped 'OEL', which may stand for 'Offenberg - Engels & Co, Ludenscheid'. The size of the lettering (larger than normal) may indicate post-war ownership by this factory for use on a display board or as a sample.

This is the typical combat belt of the Third Reich navy, replacing the gilt metal buckles of the pre-war era. There are traces of blue paint to the face, behind the lettering, and extensive remnants of this on the reverse. The leather is marked with the eagle above an 'M' for Kriegsmarine. It has been shortened slightly.

These buckles, with the hanging lamb of the Leeds city coat of arms, would have been worn by officers of local fire brigade and police units. The other ranks would have worn a buckle and tongue type construction waist belt. This is a typical late 19th-century white metal buckle with an EPNS silver finish, which is now a little worn.

A broken example of a fairly rare German railway official's buckle, missing its female portion. There is no maker mark and it is a mid-war production from zinc. Commissioned railway officers wore these, the railways being under quasi-military control in the Third Reich period.

The double horse motif could refer to Hamburg or Brunswick, as there is a Party day badge for Hamburg with a very similar double horse motif, while Brunswick also used the horse as a central motif on its coat of arms. These are rare on account of the strong probability that the bulk of them were scrapped for their metal content during WW2.
