1. Good. The central part would have had an attachment showing England's Cricketers, this is unfortunately missing. This has the latch and loop to rear, even still has a bit of cloth in the loop! Some dints and bends. Corrosion. Fine split or two. A nice registered buckle. Part of a collection of buckles being offered across a few more auctions. 2. Poor. I think there should be a set of wickets at one end which have broken off? Wickets at other end have split and not that far from coming off either. Corrosion throughout. No latch or loop. Some bends. Interesting design. Part of a collection of buckles being offered across a few more auctions. 3. Good. Split to right side. Has latch underneath, but no loop. A little bent in places. Corrosion. Interesting little buckle. Part of a collection of buckles being offered across a few more auctions. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
