Victorian (1837-1901) Very Rare Ceremonial Belt & Buckle, Possible Royal Origins

Description

Rare Victorian Era British Ceremonial Belt & Buckle, originally purchased as linked to Order of the Garter. Lots of History of the British Empire here as the Order of the Garter embraces the top tier of the Empires rulers. Dieu Et Mon Droit=God and My Right. This item is from the reign of Queen Victoria who was the monarch from 1837-1901. I believe this belt & buckle dates prior to 1885 when military regiments each had their own unique buckles. This buckle has the Monarchs cypher in silver on a gold washed or brass buckle including the Order of the Garter. The Belt is in remarkable shape for being no less than 115 years old. The belt as shown is set for a waist of no more than 24 inches with a shoulder strap indicating that the person it was made for would have been a small woman or a child. Being the Garter is involved the belt was most likely for a member of the royal Family.
Note: The above information was given to me from the reputable source I purchased the from in the UK some years ago. An eBayer with more UK knowledge than I possess has come forward and volunteered that this item may have nothing to do with the Garter
This is a Full Dress Uniform belt for Army Service Corps. According to their copy of the 1900 Dress Regulations. “On gilt or gilding metal rectangular plate, in silver, the Royal Cypher and Crown within a laurel wreath. Below the wreath a scroll inscribed Dieu et Mon Droit.” This is a direct quote from Appendix 1 of the regulations. Also, on page 79, figure No. 74 you will see the braid pattern for the belt. The book, Dress Regulations 1900 by W.Y. Carmen.
