A couple of Imerial Navy belt buckles that have been in my collection for a number of years.
Officers model, with attachment piece.

Joe,
It's nice to be able to see these great pieces from your collection, I really like these navy buckles. The only thing I could add is a small fact that I noticed, there are only a few variations of these naval buckles, both enlisted and officer ranks. About three variations for each of the two, I think?
Best!
Bill
