Description
Antique Sterling Silver Nurse’s Belt Buckle – Birmingham 1892. A beautifully detailed Victorian era Nurses Belt Buckle, Halmarked for Birmingham 1892, and bearing the maker’s mark “WA”, likely attributed to William Adams Ltd. Crafted in solid sterling silver (.925), this piece features ornate openwork and a distinctive heraldic crest with a raised sword motif set within a shield, symbolizing justice & protection. Likely issued by a regional hospital or nursing institution, it represents the proud tradition of nursing in the late 19th century, a rare glimpse into the legacy of nursing though the years, and a mark of professional achievement and institutional pride. Approximately 9cm x 6 cm and weighing 38grams, this buckle is in excellent antique condition, with crisp detailing and patina, with no damage or repairs. A rare and collectible piece of nursing history—ideal for collectors, historians, or as a unique gift. Would make a valuable addition to any collection of medical or heraldic memorabilia.
