Reichswehr buckle

[Marc verstraete]

Hello Dave,

the RZM marked Reichswehr buckle is a well known original variant. I know several in worn condition.
Don't ask me why P & C used this marking, but I'm sure it was no more no less than a human error.
This marking could be also found on RLB/DLV buckles, which also not correct!

Absolutely correct Christian,
I also have this buckle in my collection and they show up ones and a wile in shows and auctions.

Weimar buckles

Greetings all,
The weird and various buckles of the Weimar period have always fascinated me, so I have a few. Pertaining to this thread, I also have a Weigend & Puschner with "M" over an anchor (not eagle) navy steel buckle with field grey paint; an aluminum two-piece buckle (no tab); brass navy (no tab or markings); and numerous nickel ones of various configurations. I recently missed out on one of the RZM-marked Paulmann & Crone one.

Who said that Weimar buckles where not used by the German army during the war!!!! This picture, dated June 2, 1944 shows the contrary. Enjoy this rare picture.

Here is another interesting 'former' Reichswehr buckle!
I think not uninteresting...

Slt Marc,

What a fantastic photo !!
I always thought that only personnel such as the OT were still wearing ReichWehr buckles that late into the war ...
