With some astonishment I am looking at this thread.
Nobody is asking if the title "Stahlhelmbund-Wehrsport(abteilung)" is the correct expression?
Is real buckle-knowledge here so meager? Sorry!
Come on guys I had expected someone would criticize the title.
This buckle has nothing to do with Wehrsport or the Wehrsportabteilung......
Here a part of a leaflet with the correct indications:

Thank you very much for posting this wonderful ad, Wilhelm. I am puzzled what the Gebrauchsmuster very prominently mentioned was was actually for. As far as I can see, these steel field grey Stahlhelm buckles feature no technical innovation at all. Would love to hear your views on this.
Hello,
do not understand your question.
This Stahlhelm-buckle officially was the only official buckle to be used.
We all know tens and tens different patterns were offered, but this one
remained the only official version for years, until the Bund became nazi.
The shown leaflet was from about 1926. Leaflets from May 1931 just tell the
same. The leaflet even says: all other forms of buckles, which are offered by
concerns and dealers, especially those with the Steel-helmet insignia/symbol
as its decorstion in its middle, are strictly forbidden.
They do offend the protection of our symbol.
Nope. What you mean is the Geschmacksmuster (a protected design). This is usually indicated by "ges. gesch." (gesetzlich geschützt), also commonly seen on buckles for organisations that weren't protected by public law. Gebrauchsmuster is the patent's "little brother" and, like the patent, could only be awarded for technical innovations. A Gebrauchsmuster was easier and cheaper to register than a full patent.
I fully understand the "ges. gesch." in the advert, denoting that design rights lay with the Stahlhelm, but the D.R.G.M. reference baffles me.
Wilhelm. does that answer your question as well?
"tad harsh"?? It was just a diagnosis!
