DLV / RLB buckle - RZM 72 Paul Cramer

[Wewelsburg]

Hello buckle maniacs out there. This one arrived today and I would like to show it for you

Typical ears for Paul Cramer.

But what should I call it? DLV or RLB? Or maybe even early Luftschutz?
This type of buckles is almost a blank sheet for me. I really need to study them more.

But here we go:

Thank you for your time, opinions and help

Nice buckle Kenny, and with a great maker mark. Do not see many of these early buckles maker stamped

Thank you You're right so I'm very pleased with the mark.

Nice buckle, the DLV/RLB debate is still going on to be honest, its my opinion that one merged into the other at some point, some said that the down sloping wing was RLB and the straight wing DLV, then it went the other way around, I will find a thread on it when I get chance

Thank you You're right so I'm very pleased with the mark.

An unusual 'catch' for a DLV as well.

A great buckle for any collection..

Very nice buckle. Very few of these are marked and I like the different catch.

Thank you friends. I like the catch too and I am very satisfied to have my first DLV/RLB buckle.

Probably not my last
