Russian naval officers buckle question

[He162]

Can anyone tell me the branch or special rank on this Russian navy buckle? Best, Bill

Bill,

I believe this is an Admirals belt and buckle. Not 100% sure though. Soviet naval items have never been a strong suit of mine. Hopefully other Soviet collectors like Marcel Banziger will chime in. Only know Marcel through the forum but his knowledge on soviet items is incredible.

Hi He162,
I also believe it is a Parade Brocade Belt, Admiral, Navy.

Unfortunately I am not familiar with naval belt buckles. So I can't help here. Just know that this is supposed to be a parade belt and buckle but whether it is original or not I don't know I'm afraid. One picture is a bit meager though for those who do can give opinions. Pretty sure a reverse is also important to see. Most likely Kommandir RKKA can help since he served in the Soviet navy.

Thanks for the help. These may help. Best, Bill
