Degendrager van de jas van ambassadeur A.H.J. Lovink c. 1948 - 1950

This is a Degendrager, a sword belt, from the late 1940s, that was made by the Dutch company Firma Noyen. The belt was originally owned by A.H.J. Lovink, a Dutch ambassador. The belt is made of black fabric with two gold stripes and a gold buckle, and is designed to support a sword. The sword belt is a fine example of craftsmanship and is representative of the Dutch ambassadorial regalia of the post-war period.
