Hello I came across one of these gold DLV at the SOS or the Max 5-6 years ago. It was mounted to some western style leather chaps. There was several other buckles and a bunch of other german items. He wouldn't break up the set.

I know the DLV buckle is shown in the reprint of the Assmann Sales catalog. I don't know if they list a gilt one.

Thankyou for the image Ben and which I think clearly confirms that this "Golden" DLV is by Assmann.

The gold finish is and in my opinion factory applied and Kirby, I do not think that the "cobbled together" rather than reprint Assmann catalogue makes mention of finish. A pity !

Was and even after all the well documented confusion and mis information, the horizontal wing DLV buckle also worn by members of the Reichs-Luftschutzbund ? If so, could this buckle have been produced for the Wasserstraßenluftschutz ?
