Thanks David

I have read throgh the thread. No markings on this one, can you tell if it is original as I note your comments about fakes of this item.Also, as mentioned this came with some other items I was after and if original I will put it up on the estand. I do not really like asking this, but what would be a fair asking price in your opinion. sorry, but I know nothing about these items
thanks

The DAF-Werkschar that you hold is original.

It is however very puzzling that there are no markings. Actually, I have never seen an original DAF-Werkschar without a RZM M4 code. I wonder (and without wishing to appear patronising), is there any chance that the markings near to the leading edge of the buckle, have been erased ? Is there a faint trace ?

The "crank" catch is often associated with Assmann, although this catch device was not exclusive to the company.

As David said, the buckle is good. Perhaps we should start on a typology database for the Werkschar like what David is doing with the SA buckles?

Have you ever seen a DAF-Werkschar without a RZM mark ?

I am sure that the one that Andy posted is an Assmann.
