Thank you David, that is interesting. A commemorative type piece for commercial sale. The would explain why I could not find any good comparisons. Give the piece less value but an interesting piece of history.

Somewhat more difficult to find (in my opinion of course) than a buckle that may have been issued and heavily worn during the "Great War". For an Imperial buckle collector, a little gem in super condition that perfectly compliments and reflects this grossly under rated genre per se.

Much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news, this buckle is a modern reproduction. Available e.g. from German ebay here:

The drawing as shown by mr. North is from a leaflet from Haunstein & Kirchhof
as article-number 1031. However the buckle is not described as to be totally from
silvered material, but as polished brass with a silvered medallion (messing poliert
mit versilberter Auflage). Maybe he has overseen the description with another page?
Also other concerns offered this buckle, but as far as I could find out, they also always
were from brass with a silvered medalllion.
The brass buckle with silvered version medallion I was given tens and tens of them
during one of my researches at the Overhoff-concern in the 1970's!
Many thanks for that Kurt, and wow another one being produced!!!! FFS
