Re: 2-Piece Wehrmacht-Heer Buckle: Opinions Please
Could be a tropical finish?

Re: 2-Piece Wehrmacht-Heer Buckle: Opinions Please
Adam, buckle is original enough, could it be zinc rather than aluminium? The paint has not been factory applied, not on a two piece buckle and whether period or not (the paint) who knows!

Re: 2-Piece Wehrmacht-Heer Buckle: Opinions Please
Adam, I would say it is just a Heer parade buckle, probably made of zinc in a half-decent condition.
Imaginable also that the original silvering yellowed within all the years into this ivory like colour.
Pebbled parade buckles for the Kriegsmarine are not confirmed!
Best,
Guido

Re: 2-Piece Wehrmacht-Heer Buckle: Opinions Please
Thanks for the replies, guys. Yes, Ben...I forgot to mention that it does indeed appear to me to be zinc. I thought this was interesting as the only other ones I have seen as of yet with this construction are aluminum like my OLC/Overhoff. Is this less common?
Best,
Adam

Re: 2-Piece Wehrmacht-Heer Buckle: Opinions Please
Thanks, Guido. That sounds plausible about the age discoloration of the silvering. While not confirmed, I'm curious...are pebbled aluminum Kriegsmarine buckles totally unheard of?
Best,
Adam

Re: 2-Piece Wehrmacht-Heer Buckle: Opinions Please
Adam, like the other buckles I would pressume that these zinc ones were of late war produce, I have examples of more which I will post later or tomorrow, I am at work at moment and off to the wifes comapany Xmas doo tonight, free beer all night yippee? That with me is like leaving a shark in charge of the swinmming pool!
