I have come across an imperial buckle I need some help on. It has the crown and Gott Mit Uns over that,also has the leather tab attached to the buckle. The odd thing about it is that it is square rather than the normal shape,and larger than normal.
Does anyone know what it is??

Maybe a telegraph buckle? Pics would be great

Yes post some pics...never seen a telegraph with a tab, but could...sounds like a prewar larger size Prussian buckle.
like this one...1847-1895.
