Reichswehr buckles references

[Alex Ciavaglia]

Hi,
just for my personal culture i'd like to order by time the introduction of the Reichswehr buckles.
I think the steel model was the 1st to be introducted in the 1925, then the Nickel (when ?) and for last the aluminium, or am i wrong? Is there some reference (best if in Internet) who descrive the orders and models?
Hope to receive some answer.
Regards,
Alex

Ok, nobody answering my question.
Here my Nickeled SCHMÖLLE & COMP. – MENDEN – 1930 Reichswehr buckle.

Hello ,

here a Nickel silver variation from Arld 1929

[Alex Ciavaglia]

Really nice Yellow, thank you. I noticed the presence of the leather tongue on every Nickeled buckle, so i have to assume that this was for the field use and not for the walking out uniform or for both?

Hello,

also exist nickel silver variations with no leather tab .

They are for the parade tunic .

Of course, the buckle without leather tab was for parade and walking out uniforms. About the 2 pieces made buckles, were for field use or not?
I noticed the use of the steel made buckle which, i think, its introduction was before than the Nickel and Aluminium models and for some reason it's rarest than the other, or am i wrong?
