Thanks to Marc for posting these (non-digital) pics for me. All 35mm buckles. Given the recent post on the Danish Schalburg buckles, I thought the one in the bottom middle could be related. Any ideas?
Any one have any unusual 35mm buckles to show?

40 m/m buckles, these buckles are between the 35 m/m and the 45 m/m buckles. The exact use of them is not known but probably the same as the 35 m/m ones. All where private purchase. The Chinese dragon buckles is a very scarce example. I know of only a few of them in this version.

The Sun wheel swastika buckle on the top picture is a mystery, for long time (as there was no information available except the drawings in the Reid book) this buckle has been taken for a Schalburg corps buckle but recent posts on these buckles and other Nordic items has brought questions up. The opinion of our Viking Nordic friends on this forum is that these buckles are not Danish or Norwegian but radar from other German friendly states as Croatia, Romania or other such countries.
One other theory proposed by some older Belgian collectors suggests these buckles could be Belgian colaboration. They call these buckles “ AGRA” buckles. “ Amis de grand Reich allemand” or “ Friends of the great German Reich “ It is true that most (if not all) of these buckle came from Belgium. The quest to the real origin is still on.
