What is your favorite buckle

My favourite is a relic ( what did you expect from me? )

The more you look at it, the more you see......

- the effort made to sand smooth the pebbled surface
- the attachment of the guards badge using a German!! pfennig ( mustn't waste a ruble and it couldn't have been done by a German - this sort of defacing of the national symbol would have been a criminal offense )
- and the irony of a captured buckle, converted by a Russian soldier, who was to be in turn killed and the buckle dug up 70 years later!

Cheers, Dan

Very interesting, and a Linden & Funke buckle

Looked around some, agree with Kirby - 10 count is better

Haven't been able to ID this one yet, but one of my favorites......

So many favorites but probably my Deutsche Reichsbahn (German State Railway) Buckle - 1933-1935. I love the fact it is one of my buckles without the Swastika. It showcases a different eagle and its own look. The bright guilded finish also is attractive. It is a harder to find one as well.

Also...Since It was recovered from the Missing Nazi Train Full of Treasures in Poland it has to be worth a fortune....right? Sorry...Could not resist that one.

Well I'll have to step it up a level

this one is mine with the hair stuck on it during the paint finish!

I do have a bunch TR and earlier buckles but this one takes the cake
