A relative has these items - what is the metal thing used for, and what language is inscribed on it? Does the belt have any naval importance?

    Better resolution images on the text on the metallic object might be helpful for identification. The back of the belt is mirror imaged, and the buckle appears to be upside down. The metallic object may be a stacking lunch box, similar to the Tiffin boxes. A belt similar to this can be seen on Etsy

    The belt buckle is very similar to one shown at Ottoman Uniforms.com which was used between 1909 and 1916.
