  • Hallo Peter,  I can understand why this is one of your favrite.  Quite constrasting, the refined fillegrain work  with the well suited links, the tassles all a bit feminin and than as a contrasted with a rather fierce looking clasp almost the shield mark of Germany , the eagle.  All done by a very high standard skilled artisan. Well  you really know how to get hold of these beauties. You set your standards . Thank you for showing. GR. Ingrid. Peter I dont dare to ask but still do, is it silver guilded or gold???

  • Dear Ingrid; Many thanks for your message - much appreciated. It is gilded silver, however, the gilding is excellent! With kind regards. Peter

  • This is indeed a gorgeous belt, Peter, and again a style I have not seen before. Congratulations!
  • Thank you Peter.

  • Hello Peter.  Do you know if this was a man's belt?  I ask because of the Coat of Arms on the buckle(which also gives a dating: 1882-1922).  Best greetings, JM.
