Title Leeds City police/fire brigade officer's belt buckle
Nationality British
Period c 1890
Sold

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.
