Good or bad luftwaffe buckle / belt?

**ackb** · 06-15-2012, 01:05 PM

I am offered this luftwaffe belt along with some other field gear. I have no clue about what to look for on these buckles. As you can see there is some kind of stamp at the left side but it is difficult to read.

Can anyone tell if it is good or bad? I will try to get a better foto of the belt (the leather). Should there be somekind of mark on that to look for or is it normally unmarked?

Cheers Alex

The pictures are not very good and from what I can see I do not like the buckle, any chance of better pics?

Yeah I know, those pictures are pretty bad. It is not me who has taken them, I will try to get some better ones.

Would that be a first pattern eagle??

Yeah I think it's trying to be Tony

Yes it is a first pattern eagle and from the top of my head I dont think they made any in steel!

Hmm that sounds pretty strange, I will get my hands on it in beginning of next week. Then I will take some good photo shoots myself and post them in the thread.

I think better pics will tell all

Okay today I saw the belt myself and took a couple of pictures. The buckle is in aluminum and is unmarked. The leather has a pretty clear mark as you can see on the picture. Let me know what you think of it.
