Description
This auction features a rare hand-engraved silver-plated buckle and belt from the Boy Scouts of Taiwan, circa 1950's.From Tsoying Taiwan (currently Romanized as "Zuoying"), Troop 92, inscribed with the name "Bob Becker" along with the Fleur de Lis, and the motto "BE PREPARED." Both Buckle and belt are very good condition. Very nice etching job, locally-made by a Taiwanese metal-craftsman. Very interesting item, great piece of Boy Scout memorabilia! I found this on the Wiki page from Scouting in Taiwan:
The Republic of China also has active expatriate Scout groups, including two organizations focused on serving children of American military families living in Taiwan Area and elsewhere in eastern Asia and the western Pacific: Boy Scouts of American, and USA Girl Scouts Overseas, serviced by the Taiwan District of the Far East Council. These councils serve BSA and GSUSA units composed of children of diplomatic, business and military personnel, and international units run under their auspices.
Market-fresh estate piece, recently purchased. Feel free to message me with any questions. Thanks for looking!
