Re: Ss gzm m1/131
Just found out from another thread some very potentially interesting info. I know that GZM buckles have been ground dug in Estonia and Gdansk. I have asked what SS units were in them areas during the war. Well it seems that the SS-Heimwehr Danzig were in that area . It has been suggested that Rudolf Reich, Danzig M4/112 & M1/131 could have been the maker of these buckles. If that is so is it possible that a local buckle supplier started to supply SS units with buckles? Again just food for thought.

Hi Ben
Of course they could make a limited number buckles for SS in Danzig, so limited that finding them is very very hard now. For sure these are original buckles.

Re: Ss gzm m1/131
BTW Piotr, how is your research going into the "other" unknown marked buckles?

Re: Ss gzm m1/131
Tom, at the moment this is just speculation, the problem is not a lot is known about these buckles so really it is down to theories. To me it is one avenue to go down, I am in the process of buying a book about the SS-Heimwehr Danzig in hope I may find a picture in there with one being worn, then once and for all case closed
