Hello. All original. The first from M4/22 Christian Theodor Dicke, Ludensheid. Two other M4/39 F W. Assmann & Söhne, Lüdenscheid. The last interesting, the inscription looks at the hook.

Dear michal19,

In my opinion, all three of the HJ buckles that you have shown are original.

It looks as though two are die stamped nickle silver and one, is die stamped steel.

The metal used simply reflects the evolution of the buckle and has nothing to do with “dress” or “military”, issue or wear.

In very crude terms, the nickle silver buckle was produced in 1933, whereas the steel buckle was produced around 1940. Of course, a nickle silver buckle manufactured in 1933 could still have been worn in 1945, however a steel buckle would not have been worn in the 1930’s.

The dates that I have suggested are essentially a “rule of thumb” and have been included, simply to support your question.

Regards and best wishes,

David

Three nice original buckles. I checked out your collection thread and you have a lot of nice edged weapons. They are one of my favorite collectibles. I see you have a couple of HJ knives and they will display well with the buckles. A buckle should look good with you RAD Hewer and a Luftwaffe officers to match up with your dagger.
