officer buckle? European China Japan or what?

Thank you

I'm going to say not European. The stars on the central device may be Chinese - Taiwan, perhaps - or it may be a fantasy/non-military piece.

Buckel.

Japanese firefighters ?

[peter monahan]

Could be - the central emblem reminds me of Japanese or Chinese badges I've seen but i haven't gone looking to see which it might be.

I think this is an Latvian officers dress buckle.

[jcwater]

no Japanese and no Chinese
