This is not like others I have. Is it WW2 Period? What likely use? If not, what?

Hello Bob

A well known pre war and wartime manufacturer of extremely high grade ("Croupon") and I assume, private purchase straps. The three legged logo and other makers details, sometimes found with slightly different configurations.

No other significance by this logo - what colour is the strap?

Regards,

David

Correct David,

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

Luneschloss is a belt maker with as symbol the three legged “swastika / trifos”.

CROUPON / Kernstuk means high quality leather.

This belt, of early pre war production, with his typical catch and privately purchased can be used for ALL pre war period nickel buckles. If black outside it can be SS, HJ or any organisation with black belts. If brown it can be SA or any political organisation with brown belts. Of course these belts have been used later with other buckles as well. The owners would not have throw away their belts when changing buckles.

Thanks Guys. The belt is brown. It is in excellent condition and does not look like it was worn very much as the inside shows almost no wear that I can tell.

This maker also made high quality standard bearer sashes.

IMO The Lüneschloss company made all kind of leather equipment I have seen his name and logo on almost everything.
