Unissued Original Imperial German WWI Army Steel Buckle
A genuine Unissued Imperial German World War I enlisted man’s belt buckle featuring the classic crowned center design with the motto “Gott Mit Uns” (“God With Us”) surrounding the central device. This pattern was widely worn by Prussian and other Imperial German troops during the Great War.
Constructed of steel, the buckle retains a majority of its original paint. The surface shows honest age with areas of minor paint loss, oxidation, and light rusting consistent with prolonged / poor storage. Despite this, the crown, lettering, and wreath details remain visible and well-defined.
The reverse retains its original catch, prongs, and roller bar, all intact. Overall in good condition.
