Unknown manufacturer ?!?

[Wickie]

Hello All,

months ago I had a lucky hand on Ebay, I bought an old sales catalog from a factory who produced several metal parts.
Also for sale are more than 20 different kind of buckles.

I was very surprised, because the makers name(Haunstein & Kirchhof) could not be found in any book.

Who knowed this maker already?

A most interesting sales catalogue and especially the design of the slightly eccentric SA buckle. Even so, the FAD with the motto "Nichts als Deutschland" is even more interesting. Assume that a brass base with a silver wash inset - does anyone hold an example of this buckle ? Never seen this issue before ! Regards, David

This catalog illustrates also that there was many makers (even some unknown until today) who were making SS Buckles as well before the RZM period. BUT, even if this maker produced very few buckles, we can also see it was not limited to only ONE buckle for only ONE organization. This is why I always thought, and still think, if we find a buckle with a weird construction (very different catch, very different post sleeve, etc...) we are supposed to find the same differences on another buckle made within the same time frame but for another organisation.
