Hello I, am trying to fin some information on this Luft. buckle. Leather tab has LAB & a oval with unreadable title, 1938 & Ludenscheid. The other side of tab has the following, Fl. H. Kot.Fw. I, am unsure of the "ot & w". Buckle marked AdB L in circle. Any Info. would be much appreciated. Thanks John

Hi all

A very nice buckle indeed! BTW, "Fl H Kdr" is for Fliegerhorst-Kommandantur, and is followed by the Fliegerhorst's name (Fliegerhorst is the designation for a Luftwaffe airstrip). Sorry, can't make out the name.

Kind regards
Kurt
