All in excellent or very good condition. Please read full descriptions for additional information.... Or write if you have questions of course. Price is determined by the number of plaques (size or length) type of metal and type of fasteners as well as belting material. BRAND NEW almost 39 LONG Adjustable.
Existing silver fastener edge to fastener edge is 38 1/2. But Total belt length 42 1/2 so you could add 2-3 plaques to make it longer. Smaller is easy, just remove 1-2.
And keep them in case of repair. This is a "perfect" and unusual. 830S Norwegian silver plaque belt with gold wash plaques. In times past these were referred to as "konebelt" = "wife belt" = married woman, but as the economy has expanded in Norway they are also given as confirmation presents when she fills 15. Others simply like the look and the glitter.
Its a status symbol any way you look at it! The wool belt backing is expensive in itself, then add a large number of silver gold washed plaques, 29 in this case, 2 silver gold washed fasteners and the mounting of it all- that is the reason for the price.
This belt is fastened to traditional classic backing of red and green from Western Norway, Voss, Hardanger and others. The large fasteners are also.
