Re: Wachgesellschaft Buckle
Rob,
I'm going to have to take a magnifying glass after mine to see if there is a motto around the frame also. I don't recall seeing one and looking at the back it does not look that way. That is the first one I've seen with a motto.
Ben,
I was over in Germany from 59-63 (as a kid), from 80-83 as a GI and the last time was in 93 when I was teaching combat risk management.
I'll post a few other odd buckles later.
This has been enlightening!

Re: Wachgesellschaft Buckle
Yeah man! Looking forward to seeing the other buckles you want to post! There were many variants to this type of buckle. Some were maker marked, some weren't....some had the writting and some didn't - some had brazed catches and others had crank catches. They are ALL nice!

Hey Glenn, I was over in Germany from 87 to 92, while I was there I went all over Germany, from Kiel to Salzburg, drank many a beer and spoke bad German to alot of local people, but again I would go back tomorrow, I miss this time of year also, me and my wife loved the Xmas markets
