Imperial German, WW1 Prussian Enlisted Man's Belt & Muted M1895 Buckle

Description

This enlisted man's belt & Brass ( M1895 ) buckle dates from Mid-War when Germany switched to non-reflective accessories. The brass buckle has been dulled and shows wear ( see photo’s), the brass buckle ketch is stamped Militaria ( which is the same word in German as English ). The Belt was dyed black to conform with mid-war regulations. The belt shows no of evidence of field repairs and measures a bit under 34”and is stiff and could use an oil treatment to soften it up. The leather tab shows no makers mark. Belt Buckles from this period commonly have some type of denting, this example is NOT DENTED. This is a great belt and buckle to start a Great War German Belt & Buckle collection. The German Empire was made up of four Kingdoms, Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony and Wurttemberg along with several Grand Duchies, Duchies and Principalities. They all contributed to the German war effort and the larger ones had some distinctive uniforms. Prussia was the largest Kingdom and this buckle carries the Prussian Crown with the motto "GOTT MIT UNS" or "GOD'S WITH US".
