Hey ! Here is a small piece from a past thread..
GZM (Made only in Danzig. Probably by R.Reich)
Early Marking (GZD 7)
Few yars ago, Piotr from Poland was kind to send me evidence that this exact marking had letter G standing for Gauleitung and letter D standing for Danzig. What was standing for the letter Z was invisible. Based on this input, a well known and respected documentalist think that GZD could stand for GZD – Gauleitung, so the Gau-Zeugmeisterei Danzig from the Danzig Gauleitung.
The number 7 meaning is still to discover but it is attached to this exact maker for the manufacture of several of those exact buckles.
I personally know two of those buckles bearing this exact same marking (GZM 7) with one been a ground dug example. But several items, not only SS related, are bearing this GZD logo
The pictures as well as the buckle at the period those pictures were taken belongs to Stéphane in France.
