Hi All,

As has ben said, some nice buckles shown here. That being said, the brass Turnerbund does raise some questions. Perhaps Guido might be a luminary here as I recall him holding a similar buckle or at least having knowledge of this type variant. All I can remember was a positive affirmation he once offered me on a brass example although I cannot remember if the one I am recalling had solder points or not. I am also not a 100% that the nickel red cross with the frosty roundel is pre-1945. I am leaning towards yes, however we all know these were produced post-war as well.

Best,
Adam
