Re: NSDAP Jugend or NSDAP sympathizer
Hello Rob
I do not wish to appear controversial, however and in my opinion, I do not think that this buckle (silver and gold) has any connection whatsoever with the NSDAP. Instead, I think that the buckle is a 1920's era ladies fashion accessory that just happens to display a "good luck" swastika.
Regards,
David

Re: NSDAP Jugend or NSDAP sympathizer
Hi David! Thanks for your opinion! It very well could be such a buckle. It' not a "heavy duty" construction - that's for sure! I appreciate your input! Thanks man!

Hi Adam. I have one of these buckes you've shown in almost mint condition. I will have to take a couple pics today. The swastika is brass coloured and the background is black. It was used on a web belt.
Cheers!
Rob
PS....great buckles Kirby! Thanks for sharing!

Re: NSDAP Jugend or NSDAP sympathizer
All I would suggest chaps is to remember that the swastika in the first quarter of the twentieth century was not the sole prerogative of the NSDAP and instead and in both the US and Europe, was regarded by many as a decorative and fashionable good luck symbol.
Regards,
David

Re: NSDAP Jugend or NSDAP sympathizer
Yes, given the "flimsy" construction of some of these buckles - I have no doubt that some were simply considered clothing accessories and had no link to the NSDAP. I've seend cufflinks as well as other items display the swastika with absolutely no relation to the NSDAP. Adam - the buckle you've shown has even been called the "first SS buckle".....LOL! Too funny - but I've seen it even advertised as such by some dealers!
Once people see a swastika - the symbol is now synonymous with the Nazi party...but before hand it was just a good luck symbol.
I'll have to get at those pics and show you my example!
Cheers lads!

Re: NSDAP Jugend or NSDAP sympathizer
I agree with you David, the symbol was wide spread and when WW2 broke out, allot of people threw away such items.
i my self have been offered similar items and in the UK National Savings badges which displayed the swazi
nether the less the items are nice in their own right and do fetch decent prices from collectors
who left the farm gate open?
