    Marc,

    What a truly awsome collection of scout etc. related buckles!! The last one I think is also scout, not DJ.

    To me, this is a very important thread so I thought to bring it bttt. Here's another one with an insignia also shown on the catalogue page Wickie posted at the beginning of this thread. A similar buckle is shown in the new and already (quite rightly) much maligned new buckles catalogue by Bichlmaier and Hartung on p.82, although wrongly attributed to the DJ.

    The seller of my buckle said there was a possibility it could be of post-war manufacture by a company called Rüstkammer Aßmannshausen. A Google search turned up a 60ies/70ies catalogue of theirs at a Dutch antiquarian books dealer, but I thought it too expensive to buy. It seems they made a wide variety of scout and other organisations insignia etc. Anyway, if this is indeed post-war, it must be the nicest such buckle I have ever seen!

    Best regards, Karl

        I could not agree with you more Karl.

        A super thread and in relation to a sometimes neglected and under valued genre of buckles.

        Wonderful buckle by the way.

        Have you noticed the similarity of the "ears" to the box of the buckle that you have posted, in relation to the Der Stahlhelm that I posted today.

        They appear the same. I do rather like that single solder spot by the way !

        Anyway, back to the Path Finders and the Boy Scouts.

        Here is one which I think belongs to the same family.

        Any comments ?

        Regards,

        David

            David,

            Yes, I did notice the pointed triangular ears on your Stahlhelm buckle, and though some time ago this might have been a cause for concern to me, no longer. I have seen these ears on a number of buckles, and for me they are just one of those oddities out there. Speaking of my buckle, I too like the solder spot, and I like the pin and claw assembly. F.i., I've yet to see such nice pointed claws on a confirmed Neusilber post-war buckle. That's one spot I always look when checking out DRK buckles.

            On your very interesting buckle with the "round" swastika, I'm afraid I cannot contribute anything except my idea that it certainly doesn't look new!

            Best wishes, Karl

              Here is for example a young boy with a "Wolfsangel" buckle.

                I only collect boy scouts (and girl-guides) belt-buckles. There are about 50 collectors of the same items around the world: the most serious ones being from Italy, Mexico, Argentina and USA. One from Germany and one from Austria (scout museum).

                I am probably the no. 1 collector with over 2,000 different buckles from all countries of the world.

                Scouting began in 1907 (next year will be the 100th anniversary!!) and therefore specific belt-buckles have started around 1910.
                The pre-nazi German period is quite challenging for a collector like me, as there are no many items letf from that time. Like in Italy the German Scout Associations were compulsory turned into Youth Fascist/Nazi Association.

                Scouting is a specific education system based on Baden-Powell method and identified by the symbol of a fleur-de-lys.

                Many similar (but not scout) youth organisation existed and still exist in Germany, having little to do with scouting.

                If you, or somebody else comes across an old scout buckle, please let me know.

                I will publish soon some pictures of wanted German scout belt buckles in my WANT LIST page: http://village.flashnet.it/users/fn0...terscout00.htm

                Simple pre war belt and buckle for a boy scout thats in used
                condition but the buckle has survived quite well with good finish.
                Whats nice about this one is the very clear makers mark to the back, OLC (Overhoff & Cie, Ludenscheid) insignia,, and the patent mark Ges,Gesch.
