    This is same sort of buckle. I have no idea what it is used for or how old it is. Is it a military patch? Can somebody tell me more about these (machine) Guns?
    Thanks.

    One weapon is a bolt action rifle, the other a light machine gun of WWII vintage, but I agree it is probably a fantasy piece for gunny people.

    Is there anything to say about the third gun? Is there any connection with a region or country? Is it western or eastern Europe?

    What would you say if this was French and WW1 and the guns and rifle are: a Fusil-Mitrailleur Modele 1915 CSRG Chauchat; a Lebel Mle. 1886 M93 and a Hotchkiss machine-gun.

    Please a thought.

    Then I'd say what I thought was a stamping, is likely a casting used to commemorate French guns used in the war.
    With no idea what size it is ....maybe buckle was the wrong word , in favor of badge...sewn on to part of a uniform or ribbon of some sort.
    Here's a Hotchkiss badge......which may have had significance .....but the 3 guns together.....seen more of a tribute.

    The decorations on top and bottom look Art Deco to me. And I agree, a badge, or maybe a belt slide.

    I agree on Badge. The dimensions are appr. 4.5 x 2.5cm.

    Yes I think weapons have correct ID'd. They are of course portrayed in excellent condition characteristic of most all French weapons regardless of age as they were dropped only once.
