    Six buckles, five unknown.

    Greetings,
    First, my condolences to our friends in London and the UK.

    I need some help in identifying these buckles. Only one is maker marked and the others are not marked I believe. From previous threads, I gather that the first is a NSKK gilt, the second a luft, the third an older Bavarian imperial buckle, the forth a SA (discussed here a few months ago), the fifth a RAD, and the sixth a kreigsmarine. I have the belt for the gilt buckle and for two other buckles, however I managed to lose the other three belts when I was a kid in the 1950's. The belts have poor and cryptic marks, one "WSS" and another with a half strike of a brand that I can't make out. Five of these buckles may be conjectural as to maker, but perhaps the footed catch might be an indication. I would appreciate any opinions.

    thanks, d.

    Nice cache, and you have them identified pretty well, except that the 1st one is a standard political leader's (P.O. der NSDAP) buckle to go on the brown leather belt (whatever gave you the idea that it could be NSKK?). Whether the final one is Kriegsmarine or Heer is impossible to tell in the absence of a tab.

    Thanks for showing.

    Regards, Karl

        They actually belong to my dad, a USA veteran of the 506th PIR, who has had them since 1944/1945 when he collected some of them from soldiers who decided to quit fighting and the others from NDSAP party buildings. Thanks for the note. - d.
