Recently got the center Assmann HJ buckle.

Hello Kirby,
Nice addition to your collection..
But isn't the 3 buckle in your picture one from M4/42 = Hermann Aurich, Dresden?
With the manufacturer in the diamond ?
That would explain the differences in the crank catch and ears!
Greetings

The bottom one is a Aurich. I just wanted to show the different variants type catches you can find on HJ buckles.
