Buckle help

Is this a WWII Officers Buckle? Are there any books on Italian and Axis buckles other than German? Thanks for your help.

The other side.
I liked it a lot for two reasons: 1) I met personally the pilot and 2) is a very lived and salty item.
Glad to share it with you

Here's another pic of Belt , Buckle & Aiguillette what would a reasonable value be? Checking to see if I paid well.

Craig,

I'm not informed about an English version, but the book contains many b/w good detailed pics and with a good translator.....

Referring to the set posted, I do not collect that stuff so probably the fellows will be able to give you an answer.
