Catch-feet shaped to roundel... any comments?

[Hansi]

Hi Guys... I'm just wondering about the catch-feet on this buckle... the way that they have been trimmed off in line with the roundel. I haven't come across this before... and the face of the buckle, almost looks too good! Any comments would be greatly appreciated... cheers... Hansi

It's attached to a belt and the clasp is printed with Overhoff & Cie's logo...

there are a few makers that did this.. I have a few HJ examples that have this process done...

Hansi, quite normal to see this on post war Bundeswehr buckles, I had one exactly the same, and made by Overhoff!

Thanks a lot Chad and Ben... I had never seen this before, so that's good to know and it's another piece of useful information stored away for future use! Cheers.. Hansi

Yes....I too have the exact same buckle and belt....Same construction. Very common on postwar West German buckles!
Cool!
