Tan tropical belt with buckle.

[Wolf100]

Hello gentlemen, i******180;ve got this belt as a unused DAK belt sandy colour.
The buckle is an extra purchase and did not originally belong to this belt.

Under the leather is a stamp:

Rohrbacher Lederfabrik
JOS: POESCHL******180;S S******214;HNE
Rohrbach Oberdonau


What do you think - DAK or just tropical or fake???

There are no scratches on the hook and the unusual ink stamp without factoring date is also very bright.

IMO a unworn web-belt.. but I can't say pre or after 45, because there are to many and well done fakes, produced with original hooks on the market.

As the dealer stated, it should be a unworn one! It is from Kai Winkler. He has a few.

Danke, Ingo.

I can imagine, that Kai Winkler has a few of these belts..

So, what is the overall opinion -

Any chance to be good?. There must be signs, red flags or something - if it is a fake.

More opinions are needed!

Thanks for your help!!

I've seen one of these belts from the same dealer and my opinion (and other's too) is they are unissued KM tropical belts due to the more orange color. Same markings and size. It's hard to show in most photographs but the color is quite different in person.

[Wolf100]

Thanks, anyone knows more?

KM tropical belts due to the more orange color.

hello,
I agree with this input. Color is more KM orange/brownish than tan/yellow

[Wolf100]

So would it be a big sin, if a WH mannequin would wear this belt??

I mean, at the end everything was used, mixed up the branches.

re

je pense que c'est plutot pour les campagne de type mediteranee car normalement les dak c'est totalement de la toile y'a pas de cuir avec maintenant bon ou pas je c pas te dire

[Wolf100]

Thanks Karras. But can someone translate this to english or german language , please!!!


Ok, i tried Babelfish and i think you wanted to say, that you think, Dak belts were made completely from web. But the leathertongue is also known as original, as far as i know!

[schutzpolizei]

It's a completely original belt, leather tongue none the less. KM belts are rarer in my opinion.
