Couple of new ones

[regiment739]

Hi guys, had a couple of new ones in so just thought I would share them with you. They were wrestled from the strong grasp of Dan (KC1) So many thanks on my part to Dan First one up is a Officers Heer Brocade. I have never owned a Officers buckle but seeing though I am trying to collect only Heer buckles I thought it would be a good idea to have at least one, and a nice one it is

Second one is a Heer enlisted buckle by Matthias Salcher & Sohne from Wagstadt dated 1940. What I find interesting with this one is that the makers stamp has been punched on the opposite side of the leather, totally original to the buckle, same maker just probably a factory mistake

congrats ben on your two new additions,they look great

Love your new buckles Ben!

But I don't think that the Matthias Salcher firm has done a factory mistake!
I have observed the same unusual detail with the stamping on several pieces!
It seems to be normal to this firm.

Thanks Guido for that info,this is the first MSS buckle I have owned so thats why I have never encountered this before. I know of a D&C Coastal Buckle on one of the sites that has the same, the buckle is great and mint but to much for me My wife would kill me
