    Multiple belts/buckles I just purchased

    Hi again fellows. I picked up the Luftwaffe belt last week, and the shop called back and let me know the same lady had brought in more belts. I know what the two Gott Mit Uns are (at least partially know what the are), but really don't know what the other two are at all. If you have any knowledge on any of them that you would like to share, I would be grateful.

    The WWI buckle is attached to what's popularly known as a 'hate belt.' That is, it's a belt to which has been attached various insignia as a wartime souvenir.

    The WWII Heer buckle is an original aluminum example made by Friedrich Linden of Lüdenscheid.

    The first round buckle is for an officer of the Feuerwehr (fire police) of Hessen.

    The second round buckle is for a Reichsbahn or Bahnschutz officer.

      Thank you Belten. Do they all look authentic? I can not find any maker marks on either of the round buckles.

      I purchase the whole lot of them along with a US Navy belt and buckle and a Nazi arm band for $475. Ill add pics of the arm band too. I don't know whether it is political or whatnot.

      I primarily collect firearms and helmets, but I could not resist when my friend called me up and asked if I wanted to buy them.

        Well, the aluminum Heer buckle is definitely real, but I don't really know that much about the other buckles. They all look fine to me, but I won't say with certainty because they aren't my field.

          The "Hate belt" contains three WW 1 German shoulder straps and a WW 1 USMC hat device....( plus whatever else...) makes it much nicer than most!

          The other German buckles are all real.... the REICHSBAHN (not Bahnschutz) Officers is the best....the Fire Defense Hessen is decent, and the Army decent enough...

          Values, IMHO:
          WW 1 Hate belt....$200./300. (sum of it's "parts")
          WW2 Army buckle.... $75./100.00
          Fire Defense "Hessen" Belt & buckle $120./165.00
          Reichsbahn Offz. buckle..... $250./300.00
          Swas. Armband........... $50./90.00

          You did well, luckliy, the nice things on the Hate belt saved you! If it had just been a WW 1 belt and buckle it would have been "NOT SO GOOD"....

            Thanks be to all of you for lending me your expertise! I am just happy to know all are authentic. I am pretty elated with all of them, each is interesting in it's own way.

            This is a great community here, and quite a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for the help!
