HJ buckle M4/97 Friedrich Orth, Wien

[Wewelsburg]

Hello buckle addicts! Here is my new HJ

I like it despite it's not in mint condition.
I hope you like it too

It is hard to take good pics because we will not have any sunlight in a couple of months here in Sweden.

By the way, if you look closely you will see that the R in 'RZM' is looking in the wrong direction
Do you know any other makers with this funny mark?
Thank you for your time!

They can't all be pretty and condition is overall good. I would have bought the buckle for sure. To me, a very, very hard Austrian maker to find. Great addition to the collection

Thank you my friend

Here is an image of the reverse lip of another Orth aluminium HJ, previously posted and still lurking within the Forum.

Merely to show and in better detail (click to enlarge) the somewhat idiosyncratic "reverse R" to the RZM logo.

Regards and best wishes,

David

I looked thru my buckles, especially aluminum versions, and did not locate another buckle with the 'reverse R' in the RZM stamp...interesting.
