This original late-war Imperial German Prussian enlisted man belt buckle is presented together with its original leather belt, stamped “HANS DEUTER AUGSBURG 1918.” The buckle features the standard crowned eagle and “Gott Mit Uns” motto, executed in a simplified wartime form consistent with late-war production. The finish shows expected wear, with visible age toning and patina throughout, while retaining clear definition of the central device.
The accompanying leather belt remains intact with visible stamping, adding significant value and context to the piece. Late-war examples often reflect material shortages and production changes, making complete belt-and-buckle sets particularly desirable among collectors. This set is identified as a veteran bringback, further enhancing its historical appeal.
Complete, original sets of this nature are increasingly scarce on the market. This example offers both display and research value, representing the final phase of Imperial German field equipment during World War I.
