Any thoughts on the leather would be good too. I'm not sure about it. It looks ok in the first shot, but in the last 2 it looks like a poorly aged repro.I guess this could be something to do with the bright lighting conditions in which the photo's were taken? I have had a go on photoshop at manipulating the 3rd photo and it appears to have the name of Carl Lucken & Co on it with a date of 1943, I can find no reference to this maker though....Bit confused...

Hi Jim, nothing wrong with the buckle, do you have a square on shot of the back? Any markings on it? It's original anyway, just trying to source the maker for you

Belt looks ok to be honest, try and get me a good close up of the stitching, we will see if it is three ply thread, is it sized marked?

Having a look at the eagle, she looks like a Gustav Brehmer, Markneukirchen made buckle, I have enclosed a buckle by them for comparison

Hi Ben. I thought it might be a Brehmer, I think the eagle's head is quite worn though so I wasn't sure. The guy whose selling it has told me there are no makers marks on the buckle. Unfortunately I have no head on shot from the back. He also tells me apart from the makers stamp, there is only a '95' adjacent to the rounded section on the leather belt. Will try and get some good close ups of the stitching...

As a foot note Ben, my local militaria dealer told me yesterday he has a DAK webbing belt and buckle coming in next week from a guy who 'doesn't want it anymore'?! I will try and get some pics for you to have a look at.
