IMG_9487.webpIMG_9485.webpIMG_9486.webpI need help identifying these old military belts. They come from a collection of mostly WW2 items. The navy belt has numerous brass pieces and a star above the anchor. The other belt has an impressed leather band that I have shown in a closeup. Any help would be appreciated.
 

I have no idea, but I found a couple of others, and the top one might be Brazil.
Brazil sword belt.webpThis one is from Brazil. Naval dress sword belt, and it has the star over the anchor.
British sword belt.webpThis is a British Naval dress sword belt.
The Germans also had or have a buckle with an anchor, and the US Navy officers sword buckle doesn't have an anchor on it. I thought perhaps the US Navy Chief Petty Officer belt might have an anchor, but couldn't find one. I know a couple of retired chiefs, but they aren't convenient to ask right now, and I don't think so anyhow.

The first one appears to be German Navy. The second I don't know offhand. I'll do a little checking.

I don't see any German buckles that had the star above the anchor. I am trying to research the other two comments.
