(B) DM buckle?

[bubble]

Unofficial buckle? Opinions?

[KC1]

I have no idea whatsoever of what this buckle is supposed to be? IMO a pure fantasy piece.

Thank you for your comment KC1..

Buckle was found on a field in West Bohemia - the former Sudetenland. Buckle has been deformed by the field technician (harvesters) and then straightened in a vise. I personally do not think of many reasons that it's fake. Maybe some local Sudeten semi-official pre-war production? Women's organizations from the Sudeten as a model German BDM? Processing of aluminum buckle is not very good. These buckles known about 3 to 4 pieces - all buckles during the years been found in the Sudetenland mostly in poor condition.

Perhaps may be to the part for dress-uniforms Sudeten (B)DM? Perhaps for DM leader's only?

I have never seen a buckle like this one before.

I have never seen this buckle before, but I know it is 100% original !!!
it has all the characteristics of a field dug buckle.
Unfortunately I don't know where the monogram stands for.
here the official officer buckle.

Marc,

I have never seen this buckle before, but I know it is 100% original !!!

I am not following your thought process???

[Marc verstraete]

There is no thoughts process,
I just know, by experience, and the picture is enough to see this, that the above shown dug buckle is absolutely 100% original and war or even pré-war time.

I have a very long personal experience with dug stuff and i just know when it is a real old dug or a fake patina. This one is real !

It is extremely difficult if not impossible to correctly and convincing fake the patina and damage of a dug item on aluminum.
Steel is much easier to fake.

This do not mean I know what the buckle is or what the abbreviation stands for . But, this text, was certainly not used after the war, don't you think.......

If I was still collecting, i would have offered a good amount of money for this buckle already as i never seen one in my 35 years off collecting.

Ref. FOREIGN LEGIONS of the THIRD REICH by D.Littlejohn (1985) VOL. 3-
pgs. 52 - 56.

SLOVIKIA VOLKDUETSCHE- "D.P. - DEUTSCHE PARTEI"
The D.P.'s equivalent to the Allgemeine SS was the "Freiwillige Schutzstaffel"
(Vol. Def. Squad or F.S.).
Motto of the F.S. - "EHRE BLUT UND BODEN" (Honor, Blood, and Soil).

The males equivalent to the HJ was "DEUTSCHE JUGEND"- no referance to the female equiv. to the BDM but assume "Deutsche Madel".

There is referance to the F.S. officer's buckle w/SS eagle and swas. in shovel
emblem and motto- on pg. 54 but only a line drawing....however I have seen one or two F.S. buckles in my time....

I like the buckle too...I'm sure there's still afew new discoveries yet to be made!

Hi!
I have similar officers Blut und boden buckle but i am not sure if its original! It have SS markings on the back and that makes me think! Can someone show me the back of this rare buckle?

[wilhelm Saris]

dm = Deutsche Mannschaft (in my opinion)

[Domobranec]

Yes but i need to know if there are any SS markings on the back of original? The front is the same as the one posted here!

[Domobranec]

Come one guys help me out here, please i need to know if the officers buckle with SS markings is correct or bogus?

[Marc verstraete]

Hi, I'm out of the loop for a few years now but as the above buckle used to be mine, I can tell you there is NO SS marking on such buckles !!
it would be easier if you could post us a picture of your buckle ...
