Another interesting buckle: skull and crossed bones

[Mr Piter]

hello

I have found interesting buckle for sale, but such buckles are not in my area of intrest.

What do You think about this example?

It is indeed an interesting buckle. In my opinion though, it is a fantasy buckle, rather than a fake. I have seen this buckle described as Freikorp, Hussar, Wehrwolf etc., etc. and also, the buckle is found in brass, nickle silver and painted. I have attached an image of a brass example. Even though I think that the buckle is a fantasy item, it may have been inspired from possibly a genuine 1920's/1930's period buckle. Attached is an image of the roundel and unfortunately, I cannot show full views as the buckle does not belong to me. Incidentally, I have no idea whatsoever who would have worn this possibly genuine, Totenkopf buckle.

Regards,

David
