The Belt worn on parade by Officers of the
Ottoman army was also sometimes worn by German officers serving within
the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman belt was based on the original German
design (see German Belt Buckles Page) in
that it is made of woven metallic thread with a piping colour and held
with a clasp buckle bearing the national symbol. Indeed the belts
themselves were often made in Germany. In the case of the Ottoman army
this belt is made of woven yellow metallic thread with red backing and
embroidery. The clasp is of yellow metal bearing a five pointed star
above a crescent surrounded by laurel leaves.
