Here is a 155/40 with minor but interesting variant: The bottom feet of the catch. It is wider than on most other 155/40's in this part but closer to the shape of later catches used by Assmann for part of his 1943 production (155/43's). These wider catches are not very common on 155/40's, which adds another interesting note to the buckle.

Since there is an increasing request for those buckles (like: is that buckle original or fake?) I think it could help to bring back to live those older threads for now. I will make an update with new photos and new examples in a short while since there is on the market some new very well done fake 155/40's.
