The rarest of all Nickel officers ...

[Jean Pierre Redeuilh]

I can do that for you. You posted those in this forum in 2005.

...and we can see it is the exact same buckle which is currently offered for sale by the Guild. Not a nickel silver but the steel one from Marc.

[Marc verstraete]

Did you bought it back after selling it to Teddy last year?

Hi JP, all,

Yes, I took a handful buckles back as there a few deadline problem ... Others are Rare nickel EM's , SS EM belt, etc ....

Now, yes, it is brass and nickel like the very early nickel- on brass EM's ( I might have say copper in the early days due to a mis-iterpretation of language)

Now that you have posted my early steel buckle, that is indeed for sale at the Guild, don't you have pictures of the painted steel one on the belt I mention from the German ( dealer) collection ??

(BTW: This buckle is back on the market)

The buckle on the guild is still listed and is described as nickel. I didn't go to the 13 Max show but a buddy told me about a painted SS officers buckle on a tropical web belt. Someone must have thought it was a good one, it sold for around $8000.

Yes, Barry has this one for sale, or had it for sale, I saw it when Robert had it,

Be careful not to jump to early ... There are lots of " fakes" !!!!!!!

I could not find my example, just one of the green painted one that I think are the fakes from the 70s, but not the one I had with no paint

Thanks for the pix JP, interesting buckle indeed.

[Marc verstraete]

PS , JP, Teddy bought 50% of my SS buckles collection, so 99% what was posted was "ex-mine" :-)

What about the buckles with the SS runes in the front? You have those still?

One of my favorite designs from the era, classic and simple and so rare to find an original..

When it was in Teddy's hands last winter he reported the raw non oxidized metal was indeed pink and not yellow. Brass is yellow, copper is pink. So the original assumption should be valid. It isn't??

No, I do not.
