A buckle from Garry's collection. The top of my wanted list for Officers buckles.

It is always great to see these type of buckles, as they are quite rare.
I have observed and had the privilege to have them in hand with various occasions.
They are/were all part of the stolen collection from my friend in Belgium.

Who knows someone has a faraway look in his eyes right now!

Note the Sütterlin-script above below indicates the buckle, as well as its color and
its marking is not correct ( Farbe Schloss und Stempelung falsch)! I think to
own one like this, is even more rare!

All do have the Assmann marking and 1938, except the one with the bronze tone,
which is from Friedrich Linden, also 1938. The one with just the SA-symbol has the
Assmann marking and 1937, which may indicate this was a type from a development
period! This version never made it, as the other version is included in an addendum
for the Assmann-cataloque. Article-number 25924.
He also owned one complete with the brocade.

Maybe one day my friend will get them back. But if this ever will happen?

Allow me to remark that it actually says "Schrift", not "Schloss"; so, something was wrong with the text/lettering.

Yes, you are correct. I was in a haste to post the material. Thanks HPL2008!
The Latin was wrong, it should have been Gothic......anyway according to
the one shown in the Assmann-addendum, page 49b.
