Hi all,
Waffen-Mike just dropped by with a huge grab-bag of nazi junk!
We'd both like your expert opinions on the buckles especially (looking good to us so far) but any opinions will be of interest.

I'm posting the pics, and he'll do the explaining...
here it is:

Come on guys, any opinions as to originality of all these buckles? I think they are all good but want you experts to chime in.

Best Regards

Mike

The pictures of all the buckles are not the best..ie the LW are shot in a group shot...but I can not see anything that would cause me to fault any of the buckles from the pix provided...of course one of them has the catch cut off, John

Hello John

Thanks for the response! I too believe the buckles all to be original As to the pictures, I agree they could be better, but Lazy Jon (aka Tinmantis) took them for me and good help is truly hard to find!

Best Regards

There is one buckle that sticks out like the proverbial sore thumb.

What on earth is that SA/NSKK?

A strange metal, no "ears" to the box, dome to the pin is upside down, how is the roundel affixed and finally, the very odd pin shroud and claws. It looks as though the pin shroud has two clips retaining it in place!

Any possibilty of close up images?

Regards,

David
