The postman brought this today from one of my new favorite small family dealers

So, decided to take a group pic, at this point I'd say HJ buckles are one of my collecting areas - Cheers.

A nice group of buckles. One of my favorite buckles. There is so many interesting variations I have to force my self not to buy them. I think Chad said he has over 400 different HJ and DJ buckles.

Jeff, That is a very good amount of buckles there.
I only have one and it was by default, it came with a RAD as a lot..
These are not unlike the RAD, Many can be found and at great prices..
I have a few "GREAT" leads if you need or would like to persue this aspect of buckle collecting. PM me anytime... Thanks for sharing and I hope I don't get the "HJ" bug.
Again nice buckles....G
P.S. The ears seem to be straight and un-bent..

Nice looking buckle Jeff, you have a nice family portrait there

Thanks guys. Gwar, many thanks for the offer on a 'lead'. So far the HJ collecting has been interesting, don't know how much further I'll go with it, most likely pick up a few here and there when I see a good one. Would appreciate help getting thru to SVM since you know them. They always seem to have a few buckles I like, though currently not HJ types.
Cheers,
Jeff

I met the owner of SVM at the SOS. I got a nice Luftwaffe tropical from him. He usually has some nice buckles at reasonable prices. I think you will be pleased dealing with him.

I like everything about the SVM, except no 'add cart' etc. Emails did not get thru, spoke on the phone same result. I assume a lot of these folks travel around a bit picking the items, they need to hire admin folks!

I picked up this belt along with a 2-piece Police buckle. Nice belt but cut very short, so decided to pair it with this Frank & Co HJ buckle...fits well and looks good.
