Here's a new buckle that I bought today: an injection molded HJ by M4/46 (Wilhelm Schröder).

Another nice score, and in very nice condition

Thanks, Jeff! I was pretty happy with this one. The interesting thing to note is that this isn't a late war buckle; it's actually an earlier aluminum example. The only other maker who made these was Sieper.

Very nice Erno and a nice example with it, these buckles are not easy to come by, very good find

Nice find.

And even better Rick that the seller had it listed as a "repro", your research paid off and I'm sure you got it for an excellent price

Thanks, guys!

I buy reproductions sometimes for study purposes, and that's what I thought it was at first.

Fantastic find!....

Erno, congrats on a very nice buckle!
An injected aluminum HJ by this maker was the first HJ buckle I ever saw. These will always have a special place in my heart!
Assmann contemplated making injected aluminum buckles also (there is an Assmann prototype in injected aluminum), I dont know why they never went into production.
