adrianjohn Posted 28 December , 2009 Share Posted 28 December , 2009 Can anyone identify this buckle? There are several that are similar, but have additions. For instance, the Oxford University Officer Training Corps, the 10th Gurkha Rifles and the London Volunteer Rifles. I wonder if the number '22' has any significance?

pbrydon Posted 28 December , 2009 Share Posted 28 December , 2009 It is part of a buckle (or waist belt clasp ) to a rifle unit, (Could be part of a Rifle Volunteers belt buckle ). The numbers 22 only refer to a makers mark to identify the 2 pieces which go to make up the complete buckle. P.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7:29am Posted 28 December , 2009 Share Posted 28 December , 2009 has its roots in the light division set up by Sir John Moore. Worn by the light infantary regiments and rifle regiments today. the cornet was how they communicated as they abandoned the drum etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianjohn Posted 29 December , 2009 Author Share Posted 29 December , 2009 Thanks for the replies. Further research makes me think that this particular buckle is quite a bit earlier than WW1. As it has no provenance, I guess that I must be satisfied with your helpful responses. Thanks again Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
