The buckle is a Heinrich Arld but I doubt the silver paint is period. A lot of these have a green tropical finish.IMG_5286.jpgIMG_5287.jpg

The silver paint certainly looks period to me, especially on the front. It even appears to have legitimate age.

Hi
I thought web tab for LW were only blue. Regarding this one I should be wrong?

All web tabbed Luftwaffe are rare. The white tabbed GB with silver paint is the rarest followed by the blue buckle with the blue web tab. The green tab with green paint aren’t as rare.

Not to forget the sand-colored one with matching web tab, also by GB.

Do you have an example you can post? I don’t remember ever seeing a Sand colored Luftwaffe with a matching tab. My friend Garry has this Heer with what you might call a sand colored tab.IMG_9598.jpg

Kirby, have just the two attached images here at the moment. You can see there unfortunately only a small corner of the tan/ sand-colored web tab. I will shoot better images if I have the opportunity.

A similar buckle was once discussed here (same color/ without tab):

Thank for posting the photos. Great buckle and the tab looks lighter than the one on the Heer buckle.[emoji106]
