Assmann HJ injection molded Alumium!!!

[Chad Williams]

hello all..
Happy Holidays
I was recently contacted by a friend whom had come across a strange aluminum buckle with an even stranger marking.. now that it is in hand, I am posting here for you to see.. this is a previously unknown injection molded HJ aluminum buckle.. Until this surfaced, there were only 2 manufacturers credited with producing injection molded aluminum HJ buckles
M4/38- RS&S
M4/46-Wihelm Schroder
it is quite possible that this buckle was a sample or protoype that may have never been produced in any quantity..
the eagle is correct for assamnn, the prongs are of a known shape and curve for Assmann, the buckle quality and measurements are spot on..
The mark is a bit outside the norm for Assmann, but I am super happy to add this to the collection...
here is a link to a thread on the other two manufacturers of injected aluminum buckles

Hello All,

@Chad...I see what looks interesting.
But until now, it convinces me.
I'm interested in a detail photo of the side of the ears.
And the rivet heads.
Also from the mark I want to see a detail image.

Thank you !

Best regards
