LW Painted Steel Buckle with '38 Tab

[J Melvin]

Opinions. Tab is marked "FRANZ REISCHAUER" on top of oval, "OBERSTEINN" on the bottom of the oval. Year is 1938.

Impossible!

Production or iron blue painted buckles has started in the year 1940, as the production of alu buckles stopped.

So this setup is impossible.
Both buckle and tab are indeed original but not belong together.
The tab had been resewn at one point...

Simon has a good valid point, any chance of a good close up of the stitching?

This is where my photography skills go to the dumpster. But, I'll try to give you a better look.

I know bad. But weather is bad here today so I can't take them outside without the damn flash. I'll try again this weekend.

Jack,

I think that this tells it all. No need better pics in fact.
It is still a nice buckle.

I'm wanting to put this on the e-stand. What would be a fair price for it in this configuration?

Price

I would say around 110$.

Other may disagree but it is very unlikely that someone answers this kind of question.

Thanks, Simon!
