B-125b Kriegsmarine (Navy) Officer’s
Dagger Belt Buckle
Nice example of the small, gilt (for a Line Officer) finished buckle
– this being simply a smaller sized representation of the larger version worn
on the Navy’s brocade dress belt. Buckles like this were used to secure the
belt (not included) which held the Navy dagger; the dagger belt was normally out
of sight, but other than for the half again as small size, there’s no other
real difference – the design motif is exactly the same! The gilt finish has
toned a bit dusky on this little example - but it’s all there. The catch hook
on the reverse is bent slightly out of the normal position, but is otherwise
fine. The permanently mounted keeper remains affixed; there is no catch frame
keeper. Nicely aged example!
