Found several belt buckles

[Roderick]

Most of them are buckles of WWI period. They are from different kingdoms as in this period Germany was a land of several dukedoms and kingdoms, led by the prussian king and emperor King F.Wilhelm II.
Each army of the corresponding dukedom and kingdom had his own buckle for the troops.

"GOTT MIT UNS" (God with us) ist the most known buckle and from prussia. Later this slogan was further used for the Reichswehr infantery buckle (1919-1935) and then later also for the Wehrmacht Infantry buckle.
"In Treue Fest" (always faithuful) is the bavarian buckle (Kingdom Bayern)
"Furchtlos und Trew" (fearless and faithfull" is the buckle of Kingdom Württemberg). "Trew" is an old written version of today´s "Treu".
Eagle + "Gott mit uns" is the buckle of the Reichswehr after WW I and before founding of the Wehrmacht.

Kind regards and greetings from Germany

The weimar republic was before the nazi era. The Nazis as also the communist hated it as the conservatives. Adolf used it to take over the power. Therefore I consider it as something that does not fit to a WW2 collection but more to a collection of german history

I have a couple ground dug weimar buckles from Russia and have seen many more. It is clear to me these were being worn wartime by some. In my opinion a soldier already serving in the Reichswehr army was among the elite of the Wehrmacht.
The 100 thousand soldiers were handpicked, I believe some retained their buckle to be proud and to show others their experience.
