Re: Luftwaffe Officer's Buckle: Opinions Please
Hello All,
Here is some feedback we received concerning this LW-brocade from a collector friend of mine... The one-rivet affixing is of concern as well as the design of the eagle itself. Also, were Generals buckles were made of brass or should it be gilded nickel or gilded aluminium?
Any feedback or comments appreciated!
Best,
Adam

Re: Luftwaffe Officer's Buckle: Opinions Please
Not a buckle expert but it looks quite good to me. Detail appears fairly sharp and this example looks similar to one I have just checked in a ref book I have. But(!) that price is questionable. I'm sure that a buckle expert will be along in earnest to help out with a definite answer regarding the authenticity of this piece. Good luck!
Regards

Hello Markus and Carl,
Thank you for the replies. My friend has since passed on this buckle. Wow, Carinhall... What a story that piece would tell if it could talk. Maybe even worn by Göring himself!
Best,
Adam

You're welcome Adam, but I doubt that the ground dug buckle was worn by Hermann...his would have probably been dripping in diamonds!

Haha how true! Far too simplistic...not pompously bejeweled and diamond encrusted
Best,
