heer and luft buckles

[Andrew]

hello gents,
i finally got to the bottom of the box taking pictures. these two buckles and a belt. were in a box of things i picked up recently. the belt is brown for luft, but i think its a SA belt. it has the political style catch, and has the remains of felt under the tongue. though i have picked up other heer and luft buckles with belts with this style catch over the years.
the luft buckle is a 2 piece aluminum down tail bird in tough shape. back shows much use, but i can still make out the makers mark OLC in a diamond.
the heer buckle is in minty condition, with minimal paint loss on the edges. it is maker marked C.T.D. 1943 open top 4 and down turned top on the 3. let me know what you think.

Hello Andrew,

nice find in the box ......

The belt can be a Luftwaffe dress belt for the Luftwaffe buckle .

The C.T.D. from 1943 is very interest .

thanks Ben. it was a good box with 11 assorted german flags, two hitler youth knives, a few small cloth items and other stuff. i wish i came across boxes like this more often. i posted the other items in their proper places. but this was the box.
