Re: Veterans buckle?
Rod, to be honest never seen one mate, to me it looks like a neutral buckle with a badge attached to it of some sorts? I will have a look in some books I have just in case but my gut feeling is that the whole thing is made up.

Re: Veterans buckle?
Thanks Ben. That is my gut feeling as well. It was a freebie anyway so no loss if it is a donk.
I simply don’t know enough about them, so I would appreciate it if you were to check your books.
No rush remember, just when you get a chance.
Thanks again.

Re: Veterans buckle?
A rather interesting item.
The badge on the front of the buckle originally belonged to a visor cap of a Third Reich veterans association.
They both have age to them, perhaps it was done post war or a vet did it... who knows it may have been done by a member of the Volkssturm. Although I am very widely speculating.
Thank you, Glen.

Re: Veterans buckle?
If the badge belonged to a visor cap then it is probabaly a post war make up, the neutral buckle looks post war, again a hard call but its for sure not an official sanction TR buckle

Re: Veterans buckle?
Hi glen you could be correct, you never know.
Have you seen these cap badges with more two prongs? And I have been trying to work out what may have been attached to the two holes beneath the badge, any idea?
Thanks Ben this is probably why I can’t find another example. It wont hurt if I take it off and see if there is a makers mark on the badge.
Regards
Rod
