Prussian EM/NCO's Belt Buckle

First introduced in 1847, the design of the buckle remained virtually unchanged until 1918. After January of 1915, these buckles, which were also used by the Prussian-dominated states of Baden, Oldenburg, Hansa and Thuringia, were made of zinc-plated sheet iron. Initially the buckles were produced of brass with a nickel/silver face plate until 1914 when steel construction buckles were introduced.

1895 pattern, two-piece brass construction Prussian belt buckle. Stamped brass box buckle with a crown to its domed center, with “Gott Mit Uns” (God With Us). To the reverse is its raised buckle catch, and a metal prong bar with dual prongs all intact. The buckle is maker marked and numbered to the reverse. The buckle is in good condition with light signs of age and real use.

Really nice maker marked and numbered example!!
