Molded Injection Luftwaffe

[Ssteve]

Hello,

Here is a little gem that I have never been able to obtain until now. A very nice molded injection Luftwaffe buckle.

There are no maker marks on the buckle though it does have a 1939 Richard Seiper leather tab. I do not now if this is the actual maker of this buckle or later ad on. Hopefully someone has more information on the maker(s) of this type of construction.

best,
Steve

Sweet buckle my friend. Is the tab marked to Richard Seiper & Sohne?

Steve, great looking buckle and I see it is a R.S.&S marked tab! Is it a '39 date? This reminds me of the R.S.&S police buckle I have, although it's dated 1942.

Richard Sieper & Sohn was indeed the maker behind these iniection molded buckles : SS, Heer, LW and Police are the known buckles (at least to me) belonging to this serie.

Thanks for all the nice comments. Certainly would like to see some other examples if you have 'em.
