OK Sarah, I'll go first while you get your new pics ready. Picking 5 is not an easy thing. So, I picked examples that are unusual, hard to find and/or a full set with the belt etc that I like a lot. Checked the original posts and decided to use the thread links.

1- Droop-Tail Flat Back

Thank for posting your favorite five buckles. Excellent DLV set. I don’t have a tabbed example. I was looking for a RS&S flat back and finally add one a few years ago. Hopefully I can upgrade to a tabbed example. The droop tail tabbed buckles have the some very interesting marking.

Thank you.. These are all keepers. I was very lucky to find the unit marked belt for the dransfeld that I already had. It was a perfect match. The unit is Flieger Ersatz Abteilung 17' from Quedlinburg and the stamp underneath the unit mark on the tab is LBAB 36.. I hope you find a tabbed example
