Someone knows an Aurich Heer buckle like this?

[ivanjoaquin]

I picked this blue Heer Aurich buckle 43 dated, nothing special except the "Dresden" type catch, i never see this catch on Heer buckles

I don't recall seeing this catch on a Heer buckle. It looks more like one for a Luftwaffe buckle.

Unusual buckle Ivan, I must admit I dont recall seeing this catch on a Heer buckle, nice variant buckle

Hello,

nothing unspectaculare ....... but nice HA buckle late made 1943.........

[ivanjoaquin]

Thanks for your replies
Markus, you are right, it isn't unspectacular but this buckle isn't only another "nice HA buckle made late 1943" it is a rare and IMO important Aurich Heer buckle variant, which surely there will be more examples but I've never seen them
Best regards
Iván

I actually think its quite a rare buckle, in all my buckle collecting years I have never seen a Heer buckle with this type of catch, I only ever seen these on Luft buckles
