35/36 Luft Buckle and Unit Marked Belt/Bayonet Scabbard

[Gary B]

Here is an interesting recent purchase. An early 1st pattern buckle on a brown leather belt & bayonet scabbard with unit stampings: III. Gruppe/KG155. The III Gruppe was later redesignated to III.Gruppe/KG76 in May 1939. KG 76 fought on all theaters of the war from May 39-May 45.

Is T.S.Ju 1935 the manufacturer of the belt?

Very nice set. The only way it would be better would be if the buckle had a matching unit marked tab. I have a first pattern buckle with the same Berlin leather company.DSC00007.jpgDSC00010.jpg

T.S. Ju. could be Technical School Juterborg perhaps Gary.... (sorry, can't do umlauts on this).....

Bob, that's what it looks like to me...a school designation rather than a leather maker. And I believe I may have an early luft buckle unit marked to K.G. 155. I'll check and post here if it is that unit.

The leather company is the Kneiding Berlin 1935 on the frog and on my buckles tab. I think I have a frog or a ammo pouch with the same marking.
