Belt buckle find

[Erdspiegel]

Hello all,

I found this belt buckle a few years ago,at an old dump site closed 1922.It layed up on the ground after a strong rain.
Was used by the german imperial marine;an officers one,brass-made.MDing is much useless there,too scrappy. But I go for a dig there,sometimes.

Greetings, Sven

In good or top condition,100 euro - 200 euro I think.May look at Ebays ended auctions.There were two patterns,regular gold,and silver for civil servants.

That's a neat find! About what year range would these have been used in?
