    Luft buckle maker

    At the SOS, I picked up an enlisted men's Luft buckle marked GHO in a triangle on the back of the buckle. Anyone know what maker this is, how common/uncommon it is and what the approximate value is? Dark finish on front is approximiately 80% with little wear.

    Sorry to advise that this is a "fake" mark, often found on copy NS-Studentenbund buckles.

    Regards,

    David

      Thanks David, it's okay, I paid repro price ($20). Does anyone have a photo of one of these they can post?

        Hi hcliffe,

        While you got your question answered, may I suggest that (to me at least) one of the functions of this forum is to build up a searchable database of both fake and original buckles. So I'm sure pics of your Luft buckle would be a welcome addition. Any chance?

        Kind regards,

        Karl

          I totally agree with Karl.

          May we have images of this buckle ?

          Regards,

          David

                Mark

                Sorry you cannot see the mark. I'm using a scanner and it is not the best. The mark is between the catch and the eagle.

                  No need to see the marking, this buckle is original! I have the same in my colection. A bargain for 20$ !!!

                    Gho

                    Marc

                    It looks as though I may have responded to Harry with wrong information and if so, my sincere apologies.

                    I have always thought that GHO in a triangle was a fake mark.

                    If you are confirming that the buckle is sound, even though it bears this logo - who is GHO ?

                    Have only ever seen this logo on fake NS-Studentenbund.

                    Regards,

                    David

                      Hello David,

                      I am still traveling in the US so I do not have any documentation with me but I confirm that this marking (barley visible in the picture) do exist on real buckles.
                      Studentenbund buckles with this marking are indeed fakes.

                      PS I have send you a email

                        Great to hear Marc, thanks for your input. Please post more information about the maker when you get home.

                          This post is a couple of years old but I wanted to post some pictures of the buckle in question. Has there been a difinitive answer or constructive arguement on the originality of this buckle and maker mark?

                          Could this be possibly Gebruder Hahn???

                          Regards,

                          Dan
