VicP Posted July 9, 2023 Share #1 Posted July 9, 2023 Hello Everyone, Over the last three months, I’ve been very lucky with finding pieces for my WW1 German collection. I thought I’d share a few photos. I hope everyone enjoys them. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivydiv Posted July 10, 2023 Share #5 Posted July 10, 2023 I have seen them on dealer sites, but never with the belt, in as found condition. Just great. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted August 27, 2023 Share #6 Posted August 27, 2023 This Belt Buckle is for Prussian Telegraph Troops. We guess the loops were to attach some kind of snaps on a safety belt or something when climbing poles. Google around images to see more of the type.

qed4 Posted August 27, 2023 Share #7 Posted August 27, 2023 The loops on the buckle were to help support a reel used for retrieving telegraph wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted August 27, 2023 Share #8 Posted August 27, 2023 Nice name tag on the back of the magazine pouch: "Kraftfahrer Wölffert 1. Kompanie Ersatz Abteilung ?" (Driver Woelffert, 1st Co. Replacement Bn ?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the clarification, interesting, when you look at images of Telegraph Troops, they all seem to be wearing your standard belt buckle, was this then a special duty worn one?
