New Luftwaffe Belt Buckle

Hi

For me it seems a salty original Dransfeld buckle.
It has the tipical Dransfeld eagle and the ugly welding on the backside.

Rudi, can you post pics of that nice Dransfeld Lufte you have?

Here are 3 more pictures focusing on the prongs, reverse eagle, and obverse eagle. Click on the pictures for a better view.

Have you got better pics of the eagle and end of the prongs? I think it could be an original by Bruder Schneider, the ears and the catch look like one made by him, here is another Bruder Schneider Lufte from another thread

I added the pictures you requested. Thanks for your help

Posted on behalf of Rudi, a Dransfeld Lufte buckle (and in TOP condition)

Looking at the curve of the left wing and the ugly weld spots I think Rudi has nailed it, what does anyone else think?

**Sir Payne** · 08-31-2011, 09:33 PM

I agree, looks dead-on

The leaves on top above the eagle look different also...than the real one....almost like an "X" in the pattern of the real one, the other one has not this pattern...
