Both belt and buckle are fine the buckle maker is Richard Sieper & Sohne Ludenscheid
Ben
Thank you very much!!! Interesting, i've just found out that Skwara is a polish name, probably this belt was given to a soldier who fought in the wh ostbatallionen
If you can tell me the RB number on the belt it would be useful. Thanks!
Nice buy!
Cheers, Ade.

We have in Germany a lot of people with a Polish surname! Many Polish immigrants came in the beginning of the 20th century for working in the Ruhr area.
I think your assumption that the belt has a relation to "ostbatallionen" because of a Polish name is a just wild guess.
Best,
Guido
Adrian Stevenson, thanks for your help, I'll try to find it out, it will be a hard work, because the leather is a bit damaged.
Guido, thanks for sharing with us the history of these Polish immigrants. I've tought to that (since a part of Poland was part of the German empire until ww1), too, but I did not know this history.
