My Luftwaffe buckle collection

[arnhem]

Dear all,

Some of you might have seen my regular 'Wanted Adds' in which I ask for Luftwaffe buckles. The reason is simple: I have started collecting the various existing types (believe it or not but there are many differences when comparing them) and have so far acquired a nice collection. Hereunder kindly find an overview-picture of some of my buckles collected so far:

In my collection I have LW buckles produced by the following 11 makers:

E C
B.Haarman- Ludenscheid
Dr.F & Co
Bruder Schneider Wien
Assmann Ludenscheid
Noelle & Hueck Ludenscheid
E.Schneider Ludenscheid
H.Aurich Dresden
Dransfeld & Co
SO
H.A.


Please do not hesitate to contact me for any additional makers and or types: naturally I have a healthy interest in buying or trading any LW buckles of makers that are still missing in my collection. Any comments are most welcomed!

With best regards,

Arnhem

Mark,

Very impressive collection so far!

How long did it take you to find these 11 different mm'd buckles?

Nice buckles Mark. I assume the green buckle with web tab is the "H.A." marked buckle. And, the tropical one with leather tab is made by "Noelle and Hueck."

Could I see a closeup of those two?

Nice collection Mark, are you sticking with steel buckles only?
