Just in, nazi sympathisers buckle....

**Lenny Warren** · 08-20-2013, 09:04 PM

Hi guys,

Just got this in, as per Angolia pg. 586. It was cheap enough, so happy with it... Angolia suggests it's unofficial, probably sympathisers buckle. Anyone any info about these?

Like a big Texas longhorn belt buckle, it would have certainly been nailing ones colours to the mast!!!

Cannot really help you on thse Lenny, a buckle I have never owned or looked at in depth to be honest. I have seen them in period pics being worn but as to make up and originality never had one mate

I have had two in my years of collecting. First one was somewhat tired - then I found a near mint example. I don't believe it was repainted. When I look at it closeup with my jeweler's loupe, it shows that this is most probably the original paint on this buckle. I believe this is the way they were made.
As for wether or not they are just costume jewelry or actually NSDAP sympathizer buckles...I don't know.

They are quite small and were used on a cloth type belt if memory serves me correctly. The belt was not leather.
In any case....It's a 'cute' buckle that I think is interesting enough to belong in my buckle collection.

Cheers!

Rob

Lach, that a belter...

(no pun intended) Im sure it's described as painted like this in Angolia, and there's a pic of cloth belt there...

Hello gentlemen. Has anyone seen these buckles marked with DRGM or Ges Gesch?
I know of other symphatizers with that but I wonder about these showed in this thread.
Thanks

Here is a marked one.

This diminutive buckle has I think been discussed many times before within the Forum and there will always be differing opinions as what exactly it is and who actually wore it.

For me and in agreement to what Rob alluded to in an earlier post, it is simply a ladies fashion accessory which had no connection whatsoever with the NSDAP.

The display of a swastika and particularly during the first quarter of the twentieth century was innocently popular through many applications, all before this ancient symbol was commandeered and disgraced by the NSDAP.

Regards and best wishes,

David
