    I have doubts about this one. I have never seen this configuration on the back and it appears to be a molded piece rather than die struck. If you have a weight on the piece I can compare with mine. I...

    I stand corrected on that last post. I was able to enlarge the photo enough to see that the buckle is a standard infantry design and not a skull. I must have been loopy from looking at so many images...

    I have not been able to find any more information on this buckle and although I am tempted to get one, I'm still searching for evidence of use by the Lusitania regiment or civil war tank regiments. I...

    Thanks Franko, it is a beautiful design. Be aware that there are cast fakes of this badge for sale. This is an example of a cheap solid screw-back replica currently available. In defense of the...
