We were scrapping these buckles for their brass content up to about five years ago. I have seen truck loads of these buckles going to the smelting works.

I saw such Boxes in Soviet Army Depots around Berlin.
some Years ago I saw Pic's from some Baltic State with TT's, Makarov's, Nagant Revolvers as they throw them into Shredders by the Crates. That hurts!
All brandnew with attached Magazines etc. (For sure not for the Nagant's)

Must add, that this is sometimes the only way to get money for the Stuff.
I did the same with used DDR Buckles and damaged French WW II Adrians.
I really had no space to store them, but don't worry, I still have 2000 new Buckles and about 200 of the better, but rusty Helmets.
Sometimes you'll see them with some UK Dealers who got some.
