Need help with Buckle identification

[Stephane P]

Hi all,

I recently found part of a buckle in the vicinity of a wreck called the H.M.S Mignonette. She sunk in 1917 off the Coast of Ireland.

Can anyone help me in identifying the buckle? Year, uniform, rank?

Thanks and regards.

Stéphane

Hi Philip,

Thank you for your reply.

I had a close look at the link you sent me. This is a Royal Navy Officer waist belt but the one I found his different. The closing mechanism is different.

I found something similar on another website, I am attaching the picture.
I believe the belt I found is of a similar concept but I am missing the middle part.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
