Description
Unique custom trench art brass belt buckle, incorporating a German hunting badge that has been pinned to the face.
This is not a regulation military-issue buckle, but rather a privately altered/custom-made piece, likely fashioned during or after wartime. Such trench art items were often created by soldiers or veterans, personalizing gear with meaningful or decorative elements.
The affixed German hunting badge is pinned through the buckle plate and notably not fixed in position — it spins freely on its mount. This unusual feature makes it clear the badge was adapted into place rather than permanently set, reflecting the improvisational and handmade nature of trench art.
