Harry -

Buckle looks fine... reverse shows characteristics of an Overhoff made buckle. Any stamps on the tab?

[Chad Williams]

is it just me or is the tab inside out ??

[hcliffe]

I do not have the buckle in hand, but I can see no stamps on the tab. I have never seen one of these 2 piece buckles with a tab. Are they common, or has this one been "enhanced"?

[hcliffe]

any more thoughts?

The 4-prong tabbed buckles are commonly referred to as "Parade Buckles" although many, as the looks of the one you have, were used in all day to day activities.

Chad - could be a reversed tab, I have seen this before.

Hello All,

this buckle is no Overhoff and also has no resemblance in addition.

The buckle is in my eyes from P. Cramer, Lüdenscheid.
It is an extra buckle.

Hi Raphael, what do you mean, "it is an extra buckle"?

Hi Raphael, what do you mean, "it is an extra buckle"?

Hello All,

@hcliffe...It is another expression for "parade buckle ".
The expression " extra buckle " is a citation from sales catalogues of the time !

With the best greetings

Raphael

Ah yes, thanks. And is it common to find these buckles with a tab?

Hello All,

@hcliffe...the tab does not belong to the buckle.
