    Default Luftwaffe Belt

    I am new to this forum, and was wondering if somebody might be able to help me. Although my main interest is the RAF in the last war, when I was younger I used to collect German items as well as British items.

    I have a belt which I picked up some time ago, and was wondering if any members might be able to tell me anything about it. I assume it is Luftwaffe, and it appears to be an original, however I was wondering if anybody could confirm this?

    Any help would be great,

    Johnnie

    Dear Johnnie, this is indeed an original luftwaffe belt as worn by enlisted men and NCO's. I think I can see the maker mark of Richard Sieper and Sohne, a well known wartime German manufacturer. I have an almost indentical example with the leather tab marked 1942, so I would expect this to be a similar date.

    Thank you for the reply. I couldn't see any stamps on the leather apart from a faint mark that seems to be LBA which I seems to stand for Luftwaffenbekleidungsamt from what I have seen on other web sites.

    I have been thinking of clearing out some/all of my German items for a while so I can add to my RAF collection so no doubt there will be more items turing up.

    As an aside, this belt cost me £2. Wonder what it would be worth now!!

    This was a bargain for £2! I have bought various luftwaffe belt and buckles over the last few years, paying between £70 and £90, however this is very well worn and I would value it at £40-50. Regards, Douglas

    Thanks for all the replies to this. I bought it as I thought it wouyld have been quite hard to fake the ware, and I must admit I rather like the lived in look.

    Thanks again for the help with this.
