HJ buckle for review

[Wartime Collectables]

Your opinons appreciated, can possibly get better pics tomorrow if needed. Nickel silver finish, construction looks right but unmarked? and seems detail lacking to the obverse.

Hello it's a good box and center round. I don't know if they started out together or we're married at some point and or if it was damaged and repaired with the center round being re-positioned a few degrees off it's original location? But imo they are period original parts. Best regards.

Hello,

interesting buckle but with questions .........

Is the roundel magnetic ?

The reason why would be made a roundel like this ?

Only i know the converted buckles from DJ to HJ from three makers . All this Roundels are made of steel ,nickel coated .

Interesting HJ buckle for sure especially the roundel being off center.

Here is the backside of a DJ to HJ conversion example I have, for comparisons. Could be an additional maker relative to the (3) Markus refers to.

Very nice buckle!
There was 3 firms whom were tasked to do the conversions for the public. They were Assmann, Overhoff and Dicke with 3 different nickel plated steel roundels, two with CTD and Overhoff design respectively and a third roundel whose maker is unknow
Seems to be that only these 3 makers could perform conversions on any DJ buckle, regardless of its manufacturer
