Interesting SS Buckle

[Bob Hritz]

Here is an interesting SS buckle. Unfortunately, it has been de-nazified. The reverse is unmarked and still has much residue of an early laquered belt, stuck to the aluminum.

Hi Bob, that is an interesting buckle. Is it a prototype design or a very limited production run?

Cheers, Ade.

Ade,

I have seen another indentical buckle, also de-nazified, and have seen photos of one mint example and one ground-dug, in Russia.

I believe they were an Assmann pattern that may not have reached approved status and somehow were distributed, in some small quantity.

Bob,

Excellent example of the prototype buckle, even if de-nazified. I have seen only one other, very mint unissued with tags, and if I receive permission from the owner I will post the picture.
