Hello ,

I aquirred these belts a few months ago and do not really know much about them, Grenades are my thing. Can any one help with Id on these please.

These have been my fieinds ( also a vet ) collection for long time and he told me that they were painted to stop them rusting,,,,this is as much as i know.

Thanks in advance Nick

Nick take a pic of the rear view of the heer buckle to confirm if maybe been a Dak before repaint, also you can remove this horrible black paint with Acetone or nail varnish remover to reveal origional paint on the front face, the Acetone will not harm the genuine paint if theres any left on there that is.

Nick its 100% genuine Tropical buckle with web tab, use a toothbrush to get the rest of that black paint out of the hard to clean parts around the wreath & lettering, now lets see the luftwaffe cleaned with Acetone
