Hi Robbie, no sorry, you need a wide plain brown belt with an open frame two pronged buckle.
I know I keep banging on about it, but good reference books are what you need.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: New addition: officer's leather overcoat
Sorry Ade, you're right, I really do. Can you suggest any? I'm not, as you can tell, very experienced in these matters

Re: New addition: officer's leather overcoat
Get Brian L Davis' "German Army Uniforms and Insignia 1933 - 1945" an old book but still the best basic guide.
Cheers, Ade.

The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
