Re: An Interesting SA Buckle w/Upright Swastika & Dated Tab
THe buckle itself looks to be a good example. I don't think the tab is original to the buckle though. Not sure if I've ever seen a leather tab on SA buckles - also the fact that the stitching is missing (on the back) would make it easy to add it to the buckle .The tab looks real - just don't think it belongs on this buckle.

Hey, Rob and thanks for the reply. Yeah, I was going to say that as well... Have never come across ANY SA so far that has a leather tab on it.

The tab is not original to the buckle but it is an original tab by Christian Theodre Dicke.

Hello $100 is a very good price for the buckle and I have seen original tabs bring $25-35 on ebay. Buy the buckle and sell the tab.

No problem with the SA buckle Adam, being the single strike brass variety which is probably by Assmann. This is the most common type of the upright swastika buckles and it would have left the factory as brass without any silver wash.
As you now know, the CTD leather tongue is a post war add on and I have never as yet seen an SA with a period applied "Lederzunge".
A good buckle and at a good price.

David
