Unknown Makers

Hi guys, for those that dont know I am always looking to uncover new makers and find the missing links to the M4 makers list. A member of the WAF forum has a Tunnerbund buckle with the maker V & Co, has anyone any information on this maker at all?

Thanks

Hey Ben! Here's a buckle with a maker that I have yet to ID....There's a very good possibility that the swastika was added post war - but it's done so precisely and neatly, I find it hard to imagine that someone would go through so much trouble to do this on a "common" buckle.
In any case....swastika aside...is the maker mark one that you recognize? I'm drawing a blank....

Thanks!

Rob

Hey Rob interesting buckle and another maker mark I have not seen yet

I believe the buckle was denazified and the swazstika put on post war

I would agree with Ben.

Cheers, Ade.

Hey Guys! Yes, I too lean quite strongly to a post war application. It's just that it was done so nicely! Very professional looking. I think the fact you see the stamp on the reverse showing where the original swas was shows that this is not a manufactured piece in this condition.
I'm more interested in the maker mark.....wish I could ID it but in the years I've had this buckle - no one seems to recognize it.

Cheers!
