    Absolutely stunning museum piece, John! 

    Someone took great care of this belt...How old would you say it is (is it hallmarked?)

    The maker is Georgian and date is 1904

    Beautiful. Is this one you repaired? How would this belt be worn? around the waist? I cannot figure it out. and how are the extensions showing up. Georgian's male dresses are the long dark coats with black leather boots and a high fur hat??  I saw once a National Folkdance performance( stunning, they danced on their toes most of the time)  I imagine it to go with those clothes.??

    The silver work is so beautiful and refined.

    I posted a picture of Cossacks wearing belts. The belts are waste belts with a leather loop on the dagger that slips over buckle. This belt is all original
