Both are original, the top one I cannot see properly the bottom one is a late war buckle by Berge & Nolte dated 1943

Thanks for Your help! I have not ever seen such colour WH buckle before but there are a lot of things I have not seen:-)

Quite normal for the later war buckles, guys say they are coastal artillery but in fact just "einsfarbe" or one colour

Hello Ben ,

for right translation not "einsfarbe" because Einheitsfarbe for late war productions

Great examples !!!!!

I have this buckle ( Dark blue ) by Gustav Brehmer dated under the prong "43"
is this a "Coastal artillery" buckle ??
I don't collect Heer or Luftwaffe anymore unless a "Rare bird", haha pops up...
Thanks guys...Gwar

The blue/black buckles are just mid to late war. They could be use by Costal Artillery or Heer. I never consider a buckle Costal Artillery unless it has a eagle M stamped tab and you will find very few 43 marked tabs.
