re: KM: Worn maker's marks... any ideas?
Sorry... just had another look through some photos of buckles and I think that I have found the maker... Richard Seiper & Sohne ... is that correct?
Cheers... Hansi

Yes Hansi, it is correct!
BTW, Sieper was the only maker of these golden Aluminium KM buckles.

Thanks Guido and Ben... those initials (R S & S) are now well and truly memorized for future use... maybe rattling around a bit in all that empty space, but they're in there!
Cheers... Hansi

re: KM: Worn maker's marks... any ideas?
As Guido mentioned....Only R.S.S. manufactured these Alum. KM buckles. That should also make it easy to ID these!!
There are steel examples manufactured by other makers....but these aluminum examples were strictly Sieper made!
Cheers!

Thanks Rob... that's good to know. All these little 'snippets' of information are definitely a big help as I try to learn as much as I can about buckles. There's a wealth of information out there but there's nothing quite like receiving tips and help from experts in the field, exactly when and where you need it! So many thanks and cheers... Hansi

Thankyou for your confirmation, Rob!
I have observed that a lot of tabbed and 1937 dated Alum. KM buckles have a yellow coloured gilding in contrast to 1938/ 1939 dated buckles wich have a much brighter gilding.
According to this theory, Hansi's KM buckle must be a piece from 1937.
Maybe I am wrong. How do you, guys, think about that?

Guido

Yes, mine is much paler... almost like a tea-colored stain rather than gold gilding... very interesting! Cheers... Hansi
