Nice buckles Kirby, love the dogs head SA and the RAD is a cracker I would love to go one year, but that would be one expensive trip to buy a few buckles lol

The last buckle is a Dr. F & Co. Luftwaffe tropical. This is the only buckle a wasn't 100% sure of. The paint on the buckle isn't the normal tropical paint and I don't ever remember seeing a Dr. F tropical. Thanks for any opinions. Part of the tab has been cut off. The buckle was on a nice tropical belt so the buckle was a throw in.

Hello Kirby ,

look on the big berry in the middle and the cutted wings .........

Therefore it is in my eyes a fake

Also the long bird estimates on the catch

See post #59 in the Rogues Gallery thread. The underscore is to the right of the 'r' in 'Dr', and it should be directly under the 'r'.

Kirby, to be quite honest it actually looks like a messed with Luftewaffe fake! I believe Dr Franke did a tropical Luftewaffe. If Rudi reads this thread maybe he will good enought to post a Luftewaffe Dr Franke as an example, here is your bog standard Lufte fake

I didn't have a good feeling about the buckle and the price was to cheap. I only paid a little more than the price of a web belt. I still like the belt and I have another buckle to go on the it.

I am with Rob, the real cracker in this grouping is the Jungstahlhelm buckle - very nice!
