Thoughts on this buckle !!

[yellow12]

Hello,

yes right Schmölle & Co.

[Ben Evans]

The buckle is Schmole & Comp, in regards to the lions etc I have no idea, never seen one a buckle before

It's an Estonian modification Ben , it wasn't unusual for this to happen in some of the Estonian units !

[Ben Evans]

Cheers Paul, very unusual buckle, looks like the roundel was soldered over the Swastika

[Paul D]

I picked it up in Estonia Ben , i think your right the Estonian national emblem has been soldered on , this was a relatively common practice both during and after the war although usually the change just involved the eradication of the swastika and / or eagle from the buckle !!

It'd be nice to have one in the collection!...
