    You rarely see these buckle complete with the belt. Do you know if they were always worn with coin leather belts?

    Yes, I have seen these belts which are all silver (very beautiful pieces you are showing us. Thank you!).

    Maybe you have seen it.

    It's a super nice example unusual with the gilt decoration

    Dear Raisa; This is simply wonderful. What can I say - a piece of art! I just love the way the buckle is combining with the leather/coin belt. With kind regards. Peter

    I agree with Peter, this belt is one of my favourites, too.
