"Late" Droop Tail Buckle (1940)

[Ben Evans]

Leftover stock that happened to be found and add a tab in 1940, just my thought...

I guess it's pretty much close to impossible to know the truth.

The question would be "why" a two piece buckle could not be used in combat as they were not sturdy enough to bear the weight of the equipment and the rigors of combat, also why attach a leather support tab to a parade buckle that has no weight to bear? IMO the tab has been added to give value to the buckle

Nice buckle mate , very similar to the drooptail i purchased the other day , much like yourself i thought the condition was too good to be true and they are as light as a feather aswell but indeed 100% original. Great item.
