Description: A good example of a trench-dug World War One Imperial German Army Infantryman's Matt Bi-Metal Belt Buckle as worn in Trenches of the Western Front 1914-18 A nice example of a surviving trench-dug near Ypres combat belt buckle as worn in the Kaiser's Army and bearing the legend Gott Mit Uns (God is With Us) in the centre circle over the Kaiser's Crown. With a small dent to the crown and small (blast?) damaged to the bottom left-hand corner and missing the twin prongs to the rear, nevertheless the patina (with verdigris) is great for its age, so making for a a smashing, recovered, belt buckle formerly belonging to a WW-I German Infantryman on the Ypres Salient. Part of an on-going acquisition ofa fascinating militaria collection of British, German & FrenchGreat War Barn-found & Trench Dugartefacts from The Somme, Verdun, Chalon & Arras in Franceand from the Ypres Salient of Belgiumthat was carefully built up & curated over a 40-year period.
