Hi Steve

It's the Nigerian coat of arms:

All the best

Dave , is the belt buckle shown in the link I posted a fake , a combination of two buckles (different inner and outer) or simply a fantasy item ?

It does not look right. The outer may be okay. It should possibly have a matching (metal) centre featuring a QC (Colonial period). The male (centre) may be Nigeria military.
