Half a belt buckle.

Half a belt buckle.

I agree.

It appears to me to be a bar "bottle opener". The strap holder probable had a leather or other material attached to a bar for handling. The interior layout appears like others in that the two smaller pieces look a little arched.

Hope this view might help.

Good Luck ..... Gook Hunting

Definitely a belt buckle but I don't think the language is Russian. I'll check it out with my Russian colleagues tomorrow. (Just goes to show - any TNetting is best done at work 8) )

and welcome double eagle!
I'm sure this..

Good Luck ..... Gook Hunting

I think it is a very old Russian Scouting Buckle.

I think it is a very old Russian Scouting Buckle.

My "Googling" led me in that direction also... but finding nothing I kept quiet... You might be right.

Where's Nahabit when you need him?

Cool ID.

My Russian colleague, Anton advises;
the acronym along the oputside top reads something like, 'Organisation of Russian Young Scouts'
while the outside bottom reads 'for Russia'
The lettering in the middle part translates as 'Be Prepared'.

Anton considers this badge to be post 1990.
