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. No attempt has been made to collate the items which follow in any particular order, since the main purpose herein is to present this small collection and to further highlight the topic itself, although a basic structure is applied as perhaps a starting point for future development. This will also serve to highlight glaring omissions which others may well point to, furthering our knowledge of the topic.
