Very Good. Has only been rinsed in water. The cricket ball in the centre has no lugs through to the rear, so it is possible that this may have been glued in place to prevent it falling off, but is the original piece. Some minor bends and nicks around the outer edge, the belt clip on the underside is no longer there. A superb and patriotic belt buckle, these items are wonderful pieces of history. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $75 - 100
