Hello forum members.. I know that this may be a long shot.
However, considering the talent and resources we all enjoy here, I am curious as to what these buckle markings elude to.. Many thanks in advance.. If better pics are required I can provide them...Gwar

Perhaps the first one refers to Luftwaffe unit 'Lehrgeschwader 2,' formed in Garz in November of 1938.

That is just speculation. The Luftwaffe experts may be able to tell you more, if that is indeed its origin.

Second one appears to be RAD.

Cheers, Ade.

Upon further examination I have theorized that this belt was issued to Gau (District)
XIX Niedersachen, West Oldburg AD (Arbiets Dienst) 190-198
There is a similar belt on page 201 of Peter Nash German Belt Buckles 1845-1945
with an explaination of certain belts.. Gwar
