G.C.S.L Nickel Tunnerbund Buckle

Good idea to collect unknown manufacturers in a single thread. I believe there is only G.C.S.L., the "O" in "O.C.S.L." being a blurred "G". On my buckle, the G is alsovery indistinct.

Kind regards

Thanks Kurt, I did wonder about that, they seemed very close lol

It is a very good candidate the only thing there is what is stated in the text " Henceforth, the plant produced only shell casings, bullets and lead aircraft compasses"

I have emailed the company in hope they can confirm whether they did or not, worth a try

Gents, again with the help of Wickie it looks like GEHA could be Gebrüder Haunstein, Leipzig. I am trying to confirm this via the company or the web but it is looking good at this moment in time, if anyone else has anymore info please chime in

Leipzig - found in Rare Books Historical Books

Here's another DT buckle with a maker's mark I haven't come across before. The Logo may consist of a capital F and a capital L, or may be something else entirely. What I also like about this Neusilber buckle is the "dull field grey" finish as specified on the Reichswehr M28 buckles - sand blasted and varnished. It's not painted.

If anyone has any ideas about the manufacturer's identity, please don't hold your fire.

Kind regards
Kurt

Kurt, brilliant buckle, yet another unknown maker to investigate, brilliant, I just love Tunnerbund buckles

Kurt, in the Nash book Fl is down as possible maker is Franz Lipp, Pforzheim, at least it is somewhere to start
