Hey Buddy...Not sure. Here is by buckle and leather tab 1939 R S & S. Looking for a belt to be its keeper with LBA marking and if not no biggie. 33" or so waistline to go on my pilots uniform next week. Been looking but not finding much. Let me NOWA If you have a seller....

I have seen lots of DLV and droop tail Luftwaffe with unit markings. It is rarer to find second pattern aluminum buckled with markings. I could be wrong but I don't think I have seen a steel Luftwaffe with unit markings.

No worries bro! When the time is right we will get that right belt. Hope my quest for a luft pilot rig turns out like I think it will.

Did the Luftwaffe have NCO pilots? Most Luftwaffe officer would use a double claw belt.

Hey Kirby,

Open to your knowledge and others. I know the picture of the pilot with my buckle above is a Stuka Pilot from one of my albums. These pictures are from another pilot album below I have Hans Mirsberger with buckles in wear. Guess If I do the pilot mannequin full rig I want to make sure I do it proper with the appropriate belt and buckle. I may just scrap the belt and buckle on display as well. If I would go officer I would do a double claw. There is also a picture below of 6 german soldiers with some having pilot badges as well. I think there was Luftwaffe pilots below the rank of Feldwebel during ww2 but I could be wrong or mistaken. More so later war? I am not an expert here as you can probably tell.

Kirby here is a double claw option I considered for the pilots summer flight suit as well should I go officer. As I mentioned above I may simply leave the belt and buckle off the display. Some times they wore it in pictures and some times not.
