Hook nose ... Probably Dransfeld IMHO.. Others will be able to assist confirn or deny,
Either way a nice (Unissued) ? buckle and tab worthy of any collection !! Nice addition !! Gwar
Wow, that's a great one! I don't know the maker is; these aluminum buckles are tough for me to distinguish from maker to maker. The eagle's head reminds me of C.T. Dicke, but I believe those are marked.
Love to have this one in my collection. I have a steel RODO Heer with an unmarked tab but I can't remember another Heer on a unmarked tab. Ben may be able to ID the eagle.
The unmarked tab is the actually the most interesting aspect to me. Like Kirby, I've not seen an unmarked tab before on an aluminum buckle (I'm not suggesting that there's any problem with it). I disagree slightly with Gwar above; I don't think the Adler matches the recognized Dransfeld design. It may be by Ernst Schneider, but again, I really can't be sure because aluminum buckles are always much harder than steel to attribute. Ben and Markus both know a lot more than me, so they might offer some more helpful information.
At any rate, it is once again a great buckle, and, regardless of the quality of its companion, a very fine addition to any collection.
I have an unmarked aluminum Police with a unmarked tab. Could be from the same company?
