German Parachute Release Buckle
A Friend of mine in the Netherlands sent me this as a gift, we keep sending each military stuff all the time.
This Buckle was found in 1946 along with the parachute, it belonged to a pilot of a F W 190 that was shot down near Nijmegen, he told me that the pilot had got back to German lines.
As you can see it has been out in the weather as the steel strap holders have pitting on them. but I think it still looks great, the back of the buckle is missing as shown in the photos
Let me know what you think.
