Hi all,

I recieved a big lot with WW1 medals/insignia mostly prussian and kuk.
I dont know much about the items showed here,so i need some help
The big Austrian eagle plate is maybe from a pickelhaube or tschako i dont know
The buckles also looks Austrian.cocarde is unknown for me
Any information would be welcome.

Thanks

The two belt buckles are Austrian officer's examples. The larger eagle is from some prewar Austrian headgear. I have a similar one, but mine has screw posts on the back..... probably for another type of headgear. The smaller eagle is Tsarist Russian and considering the size and curvature is likely from an lancer or dragoon helmet. Finally, the cockade appears to be an Austrian one, unissued and therefore without a device in the center. If we have an experts on Austrian headgear, they might be able to provide more details.

Thank you Chip,

Very helpfull ,specially about the 2 buckles,i never saw them,its a nice design to see are they made before 1914?
i added an extra image of the russian eagle,on a russian headgear site its noticed as a dragoon helmet plate.

Most wartime photos show Austrian officers wear belts with roller buckles, so I would imagine, that more than likely, these are prewar buckles.
