Calling all Militaria Enthusiasts

I need help identifying a product, until i get a picture, toil over this..

green belt, with a polished metal buckle, the belt buckle has an eagle, with a cross over its chest and crown between its outstretched wingtips.

any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'd guess its an airforce belt? Possibly old American but I'm by no means an expert on militaria

Never seen a crown on any American military insignia. European monarchy perhaps?

If it's American, which I'm sure it's not, it's very old.

my friend said possibly the kings hussars but i checked them to no avail

the design is similar though:

without the ball and scepter and instead of initials, a cross on the chest.

Not American at all. Possibly ~18th century Western Europe. My bet is on Spain.

Sounds vaguely like a serbian/montenegro piece. The Serbian coat of arms features a two-headed eagle with a Christian cross on its chest and a crown suspended overhead. (pictured below) Perhaps this piece is an adapted version?

Looks either English or Spanish. I could be wrong though...

Would you be able to get that photo in a better lighting?

It does look strikingly similar to the Polish National crest, although the eagle in your photo has a cross overlaid onto it and it looks like it's holding objects in each foot.

Don't know, but it's a nice looking buckle.
I'll bet a dollar it's eastern European though.
