Quote:Actually, Bécsi Grave 2 has a balteus buckle. P. 462/3. In the original hungarian text, there is not even a hint for the smaller buckles belonging to a sword belt.
Abb. 34, 3 shows the balteus buckle, Abb. 34, 4 shows the whole balteus set (wich includes the buckle depicted by Abb. 34, 3, so Abb. 34 shows the balteus buckle two times). The balteus set contains the balteus buckle (called the "widest part" in my previous post), three further buckles, a strap end and twelve belt stiffeners.
In the German text the three small silver buckles are described as parts of a sword belt (wich also contains the "Abb. 34, 3 buckle", according to Abb. 34, 4; see the paragraph above) (p 449 f.). Can you read German?
