Antique WWI German Belt Buckle. First introduced in 1847, the design of the buckle remained virtually unchanged until 1918 (brass/nickle). After January of 1915, these buckles were made of zinc-plated sheet iron. Stamped metal box buckle, features a crown to its center, encompassed by a dual rope-like border within which, against a ribbed background, is “Gott Mit Uns” (God [is] With Us), and a spray of laurels. This is a very old buckle and shows signs of age and wear. No holes but is definitely rusty/crusty.
