Hello all,
I believe what I have is an m1847 buckle (Prussia, of course) but I'm looking for further details. I only way I've understood the brass feature of the buckle itself, is because it is Eigentumstueck (private purchase).
I noticed some Imperial buckles have "notches" cut into the sides - others are rounded - is this stylistic? Does it serve as a way to date certain variations to us collectors? Below is an example of what I'm trying to describe.
