WW1 GERMAN SOLDIERS MEMORY BELT AND BUCKLE.
This style of belt is often and mistakenly referred to as a hate belt. Hate belts are usually encountered with embellishments of the enemy on them that was supposedly taken by the owner on the battlefield.
This belt is what I term as a memory belt as it is a WW1 German soldiers belt and buckle that is adorned by buttons form other German units that the original owner encountered or fought with during WW1. The buckle has a dated leather tab of 1917.
Nice item.
