Ulbricht

I have been looking for a mint second pattern tabbed Luftwaffe.You seldom ever see one of these in great condition. These are kind of like finding a tabbed aluminum Heer with lots of paint. A plus is the buckle is marked for ULBRICHT Wein 38. I found a thread of WFA that says ULBRICHT is a retailer and the buckle was actually produced by Assmann. In 39 the buckles got a more traditional marking.

This is the 39 marking.

Hello Kirby,
Indeed, a remarkable buckle...
I envy you.....
Assmann made and Ulbricht sold...
I know the story that way too

Great buckle Kirby and a good way to gain a contract, buy from Assmann/Overhoff put on your own tab

Glad you guys like it. 1938 was when Germany annexed Austria, so there was probably some stuff going on with German and Austrian companies. I found a RAD buckle from this company and the buckle is marked U 40. It has the same Assmann prongs.
