My first HJ/DJ conversion buckle

[lach470]

Hi guys...Thought I'd show some pics of my first conversion buckle that arrived today. It's in great shape....an early RZM marked Overhoff buckle. I'm quite happy to finally add one of these to my collection. Very unique in my opinion. Saw the past thread on these and was quite envious. Happy to have "joined the club".
Got this one from Chad W. - who's mentioned that these conversions were only done over a 6 month period by three buckle manufacturers. I guess it would be safe to assume that there are not many of these out there then.

Anyhoot....here are some pics! Cheers gang!

I must agree Rob that you have shown a really super example of a DJ to HJ conversion.

It is interesting to note that the box is nickle on brass, however a classic set of first series RZM, Overhoff markings. The buckle has a style of claws which some regard as "signature" Overhoff.

A splendid example Rob and well worth the wait.

Regards,

David
