Interesting to read on the German forum by a specialised collector from Kroatia that the roughly casted officers buckle is a periode piece, these were hand made in limited quantities and an estimated 150 were produced for EM d. DM.
Also read that some 11 of these exist in collections and that most of these were ground dug finds. All appear to be rough versions so the first one shown in this thread would be a fake copied from the regular e.m. buckle design.
Also found a Kroation HJ badge on the net for Deutsche Jugend with the same type of rough local RZM type of approval label. Who knows....???
Cannot confirm if anything about this is true, or even if officer buckle versions of this organisation even existed....?
They did copy many SS type of insignia etc and even had there own sports and wound badges!
Can anyone chime in on this?
