Franco-Prussian War-WW1,Prussian Enlisted Man's M1847 Buckle/Soldier named Belt

Description

Exceptional Pre-Franco-Prussian War Enlisted Man's Brass Belt Buckle ( M1847 ) with Soldier named ( see photo ) thick supple belt size 100 approx. 39.5”.The leather is complete and in remarkable shape for an item in excess of 140+ years old. The buckle and belt are Prussian, from the Franco-Prussian War before Germany was unified into an Empire at Versailles in 1871. If this belt could speak it would have an incredible story to tell. Several of these Buckles were used in WW1 by the German 8th Army on the Eastern Front. When Russia bowed out in 1917, several units were transferred to the Western Front where they finished the war.
I have several other Belts and M1847 Buckles in various conditions listed.
