This is an intricate silver Nurses' Buckle with a design of leaves and scrolls and children. This separates in the middle and hooks together at the back. This is a lovely shape with a boy built into the design on one side and a girl built into the design on the other. Both sides are hallmarked in the design on the front of the buckle with the left hand side being partial as the Chester mark is not present. A nice quality piece of silver in great condition.

This is in lovely condition with no damage and the casting is good with little to no loss of definition. The bars on the back used to hold the belt are bent but can still be used. The hallmarks are clear and good. The buckle joins nicely in the middle. There is an elasticated belt which could be re-attached and used with the buckle.
