[Historyguru]

I recently stumbled apon a bunker near a town in Vilseck, Germany. And found around 130 belt buckles. Here is a picture one of the belt buckle all were same design. I have no clue about this belt buckle....p.s. it's my first post

Hello mate and welcome to the forum, the buckle is an original Heer and from the size of the pin head it could have been made by the maker RODO, I will have a closer look and try and let you know

Have a look at this thread, your buckle is a RODO, look at the spike in the wings and large pin head

Sorry I should have mentioned RODO is the maker Robert Dold Offenberg. I pressume all the buckles are by the same maker and in the same condition?

Yes, some of the buckles are in bad shape but you can still make out the icon and lettering. I have helmets that are in really bad shape (weather erode and years) found in the same bunker.
