This buckle is purchased by me in Turkey for a small price. In contrast to the buckles in your theme - my stamp is not, it seems made method casting. I doubt that it was made as a fake, but it?

[demir]

As is known the Ottoman M1909 buckle, was based on the German M1895 belt buckle. This cast buckle was likely made as replacement in a small-town workshop. It has a sphere shape device for buckling which is the main difference with the M1909 buckle. It may have been made to be used by someone who did not need to carry a heavy equipment load on the belt, might be used for a pistol holster belt.

Thank you dear demir! Your version is probably true. Post photos of purified buckle. If you have new information about a buckle like me - I will be very grateful for providing it. Regards, Ricardo.
