    German belt and buckle markings

    Today I was closly examining a German belt and buckle rig Dad brought back. I found markings all over it. There is a signature on the inside of the leather belt I assume from the soldier it was issued to. I think the rig is in pretty good condition. It also looks like possibly a unit number. Can anyone "translate" any of them ?? I'd be obliged....

                Hi Greg
                Thanks for the trusted can I say task you gave me here let's try to divide the information’s.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>
                The belt.<o></o>

                A) Maker is LLG Baden means LandesLieferrungsGenossenschaft Baden a landscape in southern Germany with Karlsruhe as main city. The organisations LLG was a group of skilled leathers workers/makers who has united into some kind of collecting office for there products meant for sale to the Government aka Wehrmacht.<o></o>

                B. The previous owner was a R. Pihl and the length is the number stamped e.g. 100.<o></o>

                C. The marking B.A.Bn 3 is a lttle cryptic to me I have seen such markings before but I haven't other ideas other than B (ekleidigungs) A (mt) Ba(den) means Depot office Baden a inventory markings. The markings have chances over time seeing a lot of differences. Some of the others markings can be some other kind of inventory markings as well.

                The Buckle.<o></o>
                Nice normal Army execution with the maker of H. Arlois of Nürnberg stamped into the tab I am a little unsure about the surname of the maker but I guess its so. I am not collecting buckles but there are a lot of makers ask in the forum. In the buckle you can visually see the HA is present there too. <o></o>

                I guess I have been around with my limited experience of buckles etc. but I hope you could use it otherwise you are most welcome to revert with questions.<o></o>

                <o></o>

                Kim <o></o>
