Title Saxon OR's waist buckle, 1895 model
Nationality German
Period 1914
Sold

This buckle was introduced into the artillery and infantry units of the Saxon King's army and replaced the earlier, slightly larger version. Apart from a handful of regiments where a unique buckle was worn, this issue was standard for all Saxon forces, until replaced by the field grey pattern of pressed steel in 1915.

On the reverse, it is maker marked and dated 'G. H. Osang 1914'. The box frame is of brass, while the centre plate is of nickel silver. Apart from some age / combat wear, the overall condition is good.

Sword arrived today. Fabulous. This is an excellent example of a fighting sword of its period, and a real gem. The 1828 Pattern is such a gorgeous sword, and this is a fine example. Even my bride is impressed and she doesn’t really get swords.
