This WW1 Prussian leather belt and feldgrau buckle are authentic relics of German military history. The buckle features the embossed Prussian crown and the motto “Gott Mit Uns” (“God With Us”) encircled by a laurel wreath, signifying unity and divine right under the Kaiser. The buckle retains traces of its feldgrau (field gray) finish, characteristic of German field equipment from the First World War.

The leather belt displays signs of use and age, including wear, cracking, and patina typical of its era. The buckle attachment shows minor rust, and the stitching on the leather remains intact, albeit with fraying in some areas. The leather strap remains complete, showcasing its historical authenticity.

Historical Context: The Prussian “Gott Mit Uns” buckles were standard issue for German soldiers during WW1, reflecting the empire’s military ethos. The feldgrau color, introduced for camouflage, marked the transition from traditional decorative uniforms to more practical wartime equipment.

This belt and buckle represent an iconic part of WW1 history, making it an exceptional addition to any militaria collection or display.
