Droop Tail Buckle

[wpheaton]

Hi Gang,

I just saw this on Craiglist near me and wonder what you think. I know they are not very good photos but I am away and cannot get any more right now. Does it look original and worth pursuing? What would something like this be worth? I do not have a droop tail and would like to own one.

Thanks,

William

William, looks ok from the pics but to be honest the pics are not that good. If really cheap buy it at a risk to be 100% better pics would be good

It is for sale right in my town but I am out of town for another week so can't go look at it. Person will only take phone calls so I can't e-mail for pictures either. I guess I will just have to wait till I get home. But, I want to get these pics out to get some feedback if I should even consider it. I know I have paid $75 for just a buckle and $130 for a buckle and belt. What would a good example of a droop tail go for? Are they more desirable?

Thanks Ben and to others who respond. I really enjoy these posts.

a bit salty.

Please translate "a bit salty". I do not understand this expression.

Thanks,

Salty means well worn, or very well used

Thank you. I do not understand the British terms.

I am in Ukraine for a week. I was in Kiev today and saw what I believe to be a Hitler Your Buckle. Not knowing too much about them I passed at $55 USD as the Eagle Head looked funny. I was told it was hand dug in Western Ukraine. Wish I would have taken some pictures. Does anyone have some pics to post?

Thanks,

William

What pics do you want posted?

I was wondering if anyone had pics of a Hitler Youth Buckle.
