Can someone post a pic of what belt and buckle would go with this customs tunic? Thanks!

This is the officer buckle. These buckles and Brocades are very scarce. I used to have a complete one but sold it. Will try to find back the picture.Originally posted by arbeitdienst

I have a Zoll buckle on a brocade which is the correct rig for your uniform. I am not able to post photos at this time even though I sent in my menmbership fee a while ago. As soon I get the OK to post I will do so. Marc-FYI this is one I held on to as it is absolutely mint.

Hi Arbeitsdienst and all,Originally posted by buckle1
The brocade described and shown by Marc and Bill is for senior Zoll officials starting with "Regierungsrat", the lowest grade within the Höherer Dienst (=senior) career group. The military equivalent to a Regierungsrat would be major. Your tunic belonged to an NCO-equivalent official, as evidenced by the shoulder boards. There was no enlisted-type box buckle for the Zoll. At most, you could put an open-claw buckle belt on this one. So you can save yourself a lot of money without compromising on presentation.Regards,

Zoll
Or just a plain Wehrmacht buckle. I have seen plenty of photos showing them being worn. I think Angolia shows even an SS EM buckle being worn by a Zoll official.

Karl and Kevin are right. Your uniform need a normal claw buckle, a WH or SS or even a police buckle.

Thanks everyone for the help. Now I have to find the proper normal claw buckle. Who has a pic of what exactly I should look for in a claw buckle?
Thanks,Comment
