The gates of hell were opened and we accepted the invitation to enter" 26/880 Lance Sgt, Edward Dyke. 26th Bn Northumberland Fusiliers , ( 3rd Tyneside Irish )
1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings

Re: SS Overhoff Nickel Buckle
I have better things on my wall, one day, I'll get around to photographing them.
How about a PO8 with history, from a pilot Ju88, Battle of Britain, with photographs, and aircraft ID plate

Re: SS Overhoff Nickel Buckle
Sorry John, if I'd have known it was that delicate I would not have asked, you have a very nice set there John, condition not fantastic but historically great, love the SS marked pouches, shame the belt is not SS marked too, that would be the icing on the cake

Re: SS Overhoff Nickel Buckle
Hi John, that is a nice relic buckle- but the green is not a paint, this is the oxidation which give the white brass ( I would say nickel doesen't oxidize) the buckle made of some kind of german named white brass- ALPACCA, which contain mixed metals as cooper, nickel, and some other metals, the cooper gives green color. That is normally seen on all of ground dugs buckles , Reichswehr and early SS
