As in previous discussions, I still don't know how to tell if the undated FLL aluminum buckles are KM or Bundesmarine since FLL continued on in business after the war?

Any new insight on this topic?

Direct comparison. To my eye the maker mark is slightly larger and has a deeper profile in the 1940 example.

Norm, let's start with this question: did the Bundesmarine had a parade dress boucle and how did it looked like?

Just realized they're from completely different obverse dies as well.

Good question! Maybe not?

In fact, I can't find a single reference showing such a beast. Makes you wonder why these buckles are so common. It's hard to find a decent KM enlisted man's buckle but these FLL officers' parade buckles seem to be among the easiest part of the uniform to find.
