Re: Right facing eagle early buckles
Hi Ben,
I think it makes sense that these converted buckles were no buckles for service. I never saw them with a leather tab and they were always silver washed and not field grey.
But I think Bandau has some errors in his statements:
"e) golden brass, smooth, die stamped
f) golden aluminium, pebbled, 2-piece construction (private purchase piece)"
Please note, we are talking about Wehrmacht-Heer but not Wehrmacht-Kriegsmarine!
Apart from that I never saw a convincing die stamped brass Kriegsmarine buckle!
My opinion about the "ugly duck" has not changed.
Best,
Guido

Re: Right facing eagle early buckles
Hello Andrea,
nice buckle, I have never seen this distinct eagle on a right facing Heer before.
Are we sure that roundel and box belong together? Maybe someone has a similar piece for comparison?
The makers mark on the box itself indicates Paul Cramer u. Co.!
Best,
Guido

I must admit, it is not the normal eagle I have seen on these Cramer buckles

Re: Right facing eagle early buckles
Ops, beg you really pardon, I correct myself: the same roundel in visible on RIGHT facing buckles as mentioned up but not left facing as I erroneously write

Re: Right facing eagle early buckles
Hi Mates,
yesterday re-exploring Angolia's 2001 book, I've notice on page 44 that he show a sale sample board from Overhoff & Cie that show a similar right facing buckle as above...good news?!(as I told to you before we can observe the same roundel on some reichsweir right facing conv buckles)
Cheers
Andrea
