1936 Dransfeld Luftwaffe example, also a smooth-back (and unit marked

)

Thanks guys, Now I can see that the one I'm looking at haves the same rear and prongs!

At first, I thought the rear and prongs looked very fishy!

Here is Markus example, it seems like Dransfeld is quite a rare maker?
And did not have an M4 number. Or is one of the unknown...

I have always liked smooth rears on ladies.

HJ M4/34 Nordwall & Welschehold, Dransfeld & Co, Menden, it seems he did not much care about the reverse

All over a very lousy manufacturing.
Maybe that was the reason their RZM-permission for political buckles was withdrawn in late 1935.
In the 1938 RZM-list they were back again as Nordwall, Dransfeld & Co. If they ever made better
buckles, is the question!
