Title Sukkur Police belt buckle from Sindh Province
Nationality British Empire
Period c 1903-48
Price £75.00

This is an other ranks buckle for an Indian policeman in the last 50 odd years of the Raj. It would have been worn on the uniform tunic. Some research would show whether this was one of the paramilitary battalions in this frontier province, or regular local police.

It is of two-piece construction, basically a brass plate with the white metal crown rivetted onto the reverse. 'Sukkur Police' is engraved on the front and then filled in with blacking, most of which still appears intact.

Indian police buckles of this type have only recently begun to surface in the West.

The helmet arrived the day before yesterday and I had a look at it today and everything looks perfect. You packed it up very well indeed. ... I've never seen him so thrilled with a gift!

I should have written sooner, but I did want to let you know that the photos arrived safely and are absolutely fabulous. I could not be happier with them.

Thanks for the excellent service and great photos. I hope we have occasion to do business together again.
