Kriegsmarine EM belt buckle YOUR OPINION !

[Carl Ellingstad]

Hi folks !

Please let me know what you all think of this belt buckle ? Is there something wrong with the catcher,- the holder of the two pins who are inserted into the belt ?

Gary,
It's a well known product of this maker. It has all the characteristics it should have.

This buckle was snapped just in front of my nose, so if some of you guys have one for trade or sale let me know ! Of the different KM buckles I have seen this type is the one I can like most.
