Help With DRK Belt Buckles

**PATNOICE** · 08-18-2019, 07:15 PM

Hi all, I recently bought these two DRK belt buckles which I would like some help in assuring their originality and identifying the type of DRK belt. The top one (the one without the belt attached) I am confidant is original as it has a makers mark, is non- magnetic and came with a WW2 Wehrmacht photo album of its owner, (He was a Farrier/Vet in the DRK) who can been seen wearing the buckle in it. The Bottom buckle came with a WW2 belt, stamped, but I am more unsure about it, it is magnetic. Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Many thanks,
Pat

Top one is a fake, you will not find RZM on any Red Cross items. I will leave the second one to more seasoned buckle people but personally I am not a fan of this one either.

Ah, that’s unwelcome news. Regardless thank you for your help.

I see you only have three posts. Check out the item before you buy and buy the item not the story. No DRK has a smooth field so it can't be in the photo album. There is lots of info so you can avoid future mistakes.

Agree with the above .. The search engine is here to avoid pitfalls when doing your own research, and always seek advice if unsure. Good luck.. G
