A Very Interesting Lot of Buckles

[DUJAILAH]

Hi Adam, I think you're right as it would seem logical. Also being that these buckles are unpainted it would seem they come from a period before it was common practice to paint all steel buckles i.e. Pre 1916, cheers, Richard.

... I think Richard makes and excellent speculation that perhaps they were trying to "use up" these roundels which themselves don't have any stress applied to them from the belt rig...

I must admit that Imperial buckles are not my field, but I would support this theory.

Great pewter WWI buckles, Richard!

Best regards,
Guido
