[unimarc]

Hi guys,
I took a chance on this one :-/
It is supposed to be a 1870/71 model !
I'm not sure if I'm looking at the right spots, therefor any comments would be much appreciated :-)

Hello,

this is a good example of the 50 mm prussian buckle introduced in 1847 and in use until 1895 when the new buckle in 45 mm was released

This particular buckle is an early one, as the four solder points were used first then they were only three of them

Of course, that type was in use during the franco prussian war of 1870

Thanks a lot :-)
I guess I did ok with this one then, and I think at a price of 35 euro it is pretty good too ;-)
