Renfield,

That is a superb selection of DJ buckles, although some of those with assymetrically-elongated runes may have been intended for Pfadfinder instead of the DJ, ven though there is photographic evidence that some DJ boys also wore them.
I especially like the silver on with black rune, never seen that one before your post. The only ones I can add is two black with silver runes.

Here it goes, first a 45 mm version.

Thanks for posting the "silver on black" DJ - a super buckle and one that has always eluded me.

I agree about the Pfadfinder designation towards some of the buckles, although there does as you say, appear to have been a mixing of the types by Pfadfinder and DJ boys.

The black paint rune that you mention is striking and I have seen the same style rune in silver on a black background.

Regards,

David
