Title Royal Indian Marine officer's belt buckle
Nationality British Empire
Period c 1901-48
Sold

This is the buckle for the sword belt of the officers in the dying days of the British Empire. The Indian Navy grew from the fleet of the old East India Company, who had armed merchantmen protecting their trade in the East. It has a fine gilt finish on a brass base.

Its condition is excellent, although one of the keepers appears to have lost some of its gilding.

The sword lives up to expectations and looks even better than on the website. The detail and etching is superb.

Thanks so much for your help and the extra information.

The pommel arrived safely today... It's a nice little object and really quite tactile... As usual, it was a pleasure to do business with you and I look forward to finding something else in your stock to tempt me.
