Imperial Bavarian 1895 - Variant

**weller** · 05-09-2014, 02:08 AM

Hello guys. Looked at this one long and hard before buying, and for a very, very good price. Based on the Imperial thread examples looks like a private purchase, perhaps parade version, with roller bar, DRGM stamped etc

Jeff, that is actually a very nice buckle and most people will not have seen one, very hard to find, well done

Nice variant!...

Thanks Ben, and I looked thru the lengthy Imperial thread before buying this one and saw a few similiar buckles. This one is on the rare side for sure, really liking these older German buckles lately

. This one is in great condition.

Rarely see buckle. I have a similar example and I posted it on WAF. I was told it was worn on a cloth belt. I will have to find the old thread and get some more info .

Howdy Kirby, would be interesting to know more info on these buckles - thanks.

Here is the buckle I was thinking of and a couple of other example. I haven't found the old thread yet but I think it was Marc V that said it was worn on a cloth dress belt. A serious Imperial collector might have more info.

Hi weller, I understand they were worn on a patent leather belt with a cloth felt backing. Here's mine with a little of the original belt attached,

Cheers,

Richard.
