Blue Heer buckle

**Alexander** · 11-25-2011, 02:34 PM

I bought this unmarked Heer buckle recently. It appears to be steel and has been painted in a blue color. There are no markings on it. There was no leather tag with it. Thus I believe that it is a late war production item. The dealer who sold it to me stated that it was a Marine coastal artillery buckle. Would this be correct, or would regular Wehrmacht troops have also been issued with a buckle in this color? I really like this buckle, but note that the swastika has uneven length arms, also the two 'Ts' in GOTT are not the same. Is it a genuine buckle or a copy? Thanks for any help.

Buckle is fine, made by C W Motz & Co Brandenburg, here is a tabbed example for comparison

BTW for reference there is also Schmole & Comp and J C Maedicke which are very similar buckles (Motz & Maedicke probably same firm at some point) I have posted pics of both for interest first up J C Maedicke
