Bought it from ebay,cheap. Wanted a piece of history like this in my collection .Someone tried to remove the eagle.Whats your opinion?if you see a problem tell me please.to me seems like original.thank you

I like it.

Possibly done by the original owner if he was a POW.

Cheers, Ade.

Original buckle thats been denazified, if you can get pics in the day light it would be a bit better, may even find a maker for you

[herrzark]

οk.will try tomorow

[Guido]

Maker is probably Gebr. Schneider/ Wien from 1940 (transitional alu pin).

Best,
Guido

make some photos.i saw under the sun something in the leather.i understand only ''1940'' ( maybe Gebr. Schneider/ Wien) .the photos are not the best. and some photos in dylight as i promised

[Frundsberg]

Nice original! I personally like "denazified" buckles because they are often from the real frontline solders and were in real combats and afterwards in POW camps. Too shiny buckles are not for me!

[Ben Evans]

Hi there, if the buckle has Wein on it it must be Bruder Schneider, Wein, here is one for example, does it has big ears like this one? Also the eagle from the rear looks like a Bruder Schneider

[Ben Evans]

Another variation of this buckle with wide feet to the catch

[herrzark]

Yes it has big ears .so it is Bruder Schneider, Wein as i see in photos.Thank you very much for information.
I prefer to ''denazified" buckles or items in ''relic'' condition.They are original and have more historical value for me.
