A great looking buckle. I would love to find a photo of one of these being worn. Everyone I have ever seen has been in unissued condition, so we may never know who they were produced for.

[BOB COLEMAN]

iI obtained two of these buckles in different veteran's stashes back in the 1960's. All examples I have ever encountered have been in unissued condition. I have always felt that these were an unauthorized buckle that was locally made but RZM regulations likely put a halt to their use before they ever were issued.

Could well have been Bob, for these it is the $1000,000 question, who made them and what were they used for, I really hope one day the truth come to light
