Another arrival today and one more for the database, I got this from my good friend and forum member Adam The buckle its self is a die-stamped zinc HJ buckle by Werner Redo, Saarlautern who had the M4 number 118. This is a very hard maker to come by, I believe Guido has a HJ by the same maker if my memory serves me right. Also to note is the variation in the M4 lettering, again very hard to come.
nice buckle !! most dealers dont know or dont notice the difference of the cast zinc and die struck zinc .. so always check could be your opportunity to pick up a gem at a great price!

Nice buckle there, Ben Good to see it in it's new, appreciating home. Attached here is my other example and links to a couple prior discussions on these. Interesting to note is what Kurt points out in the 2nd thread where his example lacks the "M" in M4.

Hi Adam
Didn't even remember I had posted something on the (M)4/118 buckle. The link to the thread you mention doesn't appear in your post, but I do have one without the "M", and here it is - possibly again. Great buckles all of you are showing BTW, and I do lust after one with the "M", which has eluded me so far.
Nice buckles, even more while this concern did get its permission
not earlier then summer 1942.
The number was announced in the Mitteilungsblatt der RZM, Nr. 9
from August 22, 1942. (page 57). The numbers 119 and 120 came
in October 1942. Later entries I have not found.
