Silver nurses buckle

Introduction: For many years, the belts, and their associated buckles, worn as part of a nurses uniform, would seem to have been largely ignored by collectors. And yet those coloured, often 'Petersham' belts relayed a good deal of information about the wearer - category of nursing; rank; stage of training for example; as did the buckle itself - albeit to a lesser extent. To a lesser extent probably because their exact origin provenance is difficult to determine. Markings more often than not, do not identify for example, the who; where; and when of the original owner. But much can still be ascertained with a little diligent research. One or two reverse sides have been animated to show the action of the clasps. Simply pointing your cursor at a reverse side will reveal which these latter are. Perhaps then, this article will do a little to awaken further interest in this area of our nursing history - and hopefully fire those already interested to further interest and collector zeal.
