Wilhelm Schroeder Police

[klr]

Added this Wilhelm Schroeder Police buckle to my collection. It has a different construction with a pebbled field and the sides are smooth.

Hello,
anybody have ever seen by hand a Luftwaffe flat-back by Schröder?
I'm searching for that from many years.
Also write an email to the Wilhelm Schröder & Co. (nowadays make die-cast toys) but they replay that nothing knows about thier buckles, of course.

Regards

I would assume if they have them in the catalog they would’ve produced a few. I don’t recall ever seeing one or I would have tried to buy it.

Hello brus,
yes, I know one and it belongs to a befriended collector. Maybe he is reading and showing it here.
Best,
Guido

They did not produce a few, they produced a lot of them. To start with at least thousand and more! The buckles
like the shown one was offered for quite a while and with various leaflets and price-lists: Wehrheer (army article
7060), Feuerwehr (fire-brigades 7071), Polizei (police 7072) and Wehrflieger (airforce 7074). They started to
produce them in late 1936 and anyway until the buckle with the varying tail came in 1937). See the leaflet shown
by klr with post 2, which is from my files. Due to the change of motive the number of buckles was not that large!

Concerns do not want to be remembered they produced TR materials. They deny. I have a lot of letters with the
same answers, which were send too me in the 1970's! Schröder, known then as Wilesco, told me in late 1975 they
did not have any documentation about buckles anymore.

Hello Mr. Saris,
I think Klr refer with "few" only to LW buckle specifically.
Yes, every maker I contacted deny to ever produced TR buckle. In the past I wrote to Olc, ST&L, Arld and others just to get some info.... Nothing to do.

I should have credited you for the catalog photo. You posted it on War Relics when I posted the Heer buckle. Sorry about that.

All the best

A few were never made. A struck was most often hundred or more, especially with a common buckle as the one for the airforce.
Notice the first type airforce was on the leaflet included.

A few was the wrong word. If Guido knows of one then some were produced and I would like to find one.

I can tell you, Gentlemen, the eagle looks really great on these pieces!
I could secure already a Sieper flatback LW, but Schröder is nearly impossible to find.

[klr]

The new eagle design, being introduced in 37, is probably why the Luftwaffe buckles are much harder to find.

Yes, could be.
And we also don't know how long Schröder was producing their aluminium flatback buckles.
Sieper for instance was producing their aluminium flatback buckles at least till 1939.
