WWI-period (ie. 'Bayern'-related), copper- (ie. nickle-crome-) based EM/NCO-type belt-buckle being a moderately used example that comes mounted onto its maker- (ie. 'AWM 19 00'-) marked leather-based tab

This is an attractive - quite scarcely found and and I deem just moderately used- ie. worn! - example of a WWI-period, golden-toned- and/or typical copper- (ie. partly nickle-chrome-based), 'Bayern'-related belt-buckle (ie. 'Koppelschloss für Unteroffiziere u. Mannschaften') that shows the typical (and separately-attached) front-plate depicting a crown and text: 'In Treue Fest' and that comes in a moderately used and/or overall nicely preserved, condition. The neat buckle - that in my opinion is of a quite early production and that can be dated around 1900 - truly retains all of its somewhat 'shiny'-styled, golden-coloured finish without showing any defaults: it was never cleaned and is just a tiny bit dirty ie. stained (as can be seen on the pictures). The inside of the buckle only shows some dust caused by over more than 100 years of storage only. The buckle itself is unmarked (something that is more often observed) but came mounted onto its genuine leather-based tab (that shows the stamped makers'- ie. years'-designation: 'AWM 19 00' and that is still souple and functional as can be noticed on the pictures). The neat piece was recently found at a private-household in Germany and was never before part of a collection. Simply an attractive - and with certainty not that often found! - WWI-period-example of the Kingdom 'Bayern' that is priced according to its used albeit still overall nicely preserved, condition!
