Description
This is an authentic World War I Ottoman Empire Turkish belt buckle, made of steel with a darkened patina from age. The design features a crescent moon and star, a powerful Ottoman symbol, encircled by an ornate rope border with Arabic script.
These buckles were issued to Ottoman soldiers during WWI and saw service across multiple fronts, often alongside their German allies. The example offered here remains in solid condition with aged surface wear consistent with its long history.
An impressive piece of Ottoman militaria and an important addition for collectors of WWI and Middle Eastern military history.
