DAF buckle in gold

[Vlad]

Hi guys.
I have this in my collection DAF buckle.
It is well known from the books that this belongs to the leader daf buckle. Is this true??

Off the top of my head not sure (at work at mo) I think I read some where the different colour DAF buckles meant certain positions within the organisation but will have to check tomorrow

Hello,

Here some information from the "Amtliches Nachrichtenblatt der Deutschen Arbeitsfront",
nr. 6 from April 21, 1937:
order 8/37: uniform and equipment for Werkscharen, worn a 6 cm wide belt with silver
colored claw for those with silver or while ranking insignia and golden for those with
gold colored ranking-insignia (worn by persons with a leading function). For this reason various
persons with a leading function started wearing the golden colored buckle. Later the order was
slightly simplified but the color range was the same.

Buckles in white or golden color were made by various manufacturers, for example
mentioned in a 1937 price-list from Wilhelm Schröder & Co, Lüdenscheid (M4/46) with
article-numbers 7058/45 in white and 7048/45 in gold. Price difference was 2 Pfennig.
