Original buckle?

[KukkeVanDyck]

Hello,

is this an original buckle?

If so,someone knows the manufacturer?



Thanks for looking

Kind regards

Original buckle made by F W Assmann, a late war buckle, the catch used on the 43 dated buckles and painted with the blue "einsfarbe" paint or one colour, used towards the end of the war as they probably had nothing else in bulk

Another for reference

Hey Ben,

sorry mate,forgot all about my post due to the holiday,sorry...

Thanks for the response,then this is exactly what I need for my display.

I'm working on an MG gunner,Battle of the Bulge display,so I prefer late war items,it's going to be a full mannequin but I still need lots of stuff

Thanks and a happy collecting 2018
