Ceinture de commandement. Alsace annexée 1888

Belt that belonged to an officer named Meyer, assigned to a field artillery regiment, the 66th Lothring (Lothring, like Lotharingia, according to the 843 borders), based in Saint-Avold, which was located in Germany and belonged to the XVI Army Corps. This is a military antique, both German and French, a testament to a turbulent period on the borders of Europe.
