    DLV or RLB?

    Hi folks,
    Here is another buckle I just obtained, is it DLV or RLB? These really confuse me. It appears to be silver over brass.
    Regards,
    Jody

          Hi Jody:

          The buckle you have is an RLB...it has the slightly down turned wings. The DLV buckle has the straight outstretched wings.

          Regards
          Gary

                    Just a small "spanner in the works" comment.

                    There is I think a strong feeling by some collectors that these buckles and irrespective of displaying either horizontal or downswept wings, have no firm designation as DLV or RLB.

                    Instead, either design could have been worn by DLV or RLB persons, to include also, early Luftwaffe enlisted men.

                    Regards,

                    David
