This always has been one of my favorite buckles.
I especially like the great symbol. The Assmann concern was one of the few that showed this buckle
in an about 1933 loose cataloque-page with article-number 21249/45 mm.
I used this symbol for the "sticker", to be signed, with my book about "Third Reich Reichsbahn Eagles".
200 Copies were serial numbered.
The technical drawing from the Eisenbahn-Zentralamt is being shown on page 83. In October 1922 the
great design was accepted and authorized for use. For me, since about 40 years or so, I ask myself to
what dress/uniform this buckle was worn. The regulations do not say a thing about it!
Thank You Kirby.
@Ric: yes it is. The GDR-Bahnschutz (or TRAPO = Transportpolizei) was only a small unit and many of the buckles had to be returned in exchange of the general Police buckle with the ordinary state crest in the 1960ies.
Best, Thomas
