notice the design of the crown, cross and size of roundel. can someone identify this variation? thank you

I don't see any differences that make it odd . There are loads of variations . RobGod please take justin bieber and gave us dio back -
The only thing that I see unusual about it is that this buckle medallion has the distinction of being the first one I have ever seen that has an obvious off-centered wreath bow as compared to the positioning of the bottom of the crown. That's quite a bad design flaw for a German buckle. It probably wouldn't have passed 3rd Reich era standards.

OOPs! my original post stated this is an 1847 pattern.....I was clearly wrong on a relook at the photos...sorry, seems to be a typical M95 pattern
as for the wreath centering, in this case it seems to have to do with maintaining the same distance with the wreath ends and the motto first and last letter....I will check some othersLast edited by phild; 02-03-2015, 03:49 PM.Comment

It's one of the countless Model 1895 Prussian enlisted pattern buckles.Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems obvious that this is the 1847 pattern hence the larger roundel, larger flatter buckle face and non-stepped sides in the back
Prussian Model 1847 has the stepped sides, and the medallion is not soldered to the buckle with the 2-vertically placed holes. A Model 1847 Prussian buckle has the medallion soldered to the buckle in either a 3-hole pattern based around an indented circle, and the earlier version M47 Prussian buckle has a 4-hole solder pattern spaced around the indented circle.
I'll see if I can dig up some photos to post, of a model 1847 Prussian buckle. I've used photos from the website: www.das-koppelschloss.de to show the 2-types of Prussian M47 buckles that are normally encountered.

Here's images of the so-called "newer" Model 1847 Prussian buckle, with the 3-solder holes.Comment
