Re: Another 1938 Heer buckle
That is what I thought when I bought it. You cannot say this buckle and its owner have not seen war. I always like to make myself a mental picture of every WWII item I buy as it could have been used in the war. As you say, I imagine this german soldier crawling under fire many times.
It distresses me a bit more when I have a WWII weapon in my hands and imagine the circumstances it could have been involved in and the lives it has surely taken out. Of course it does not stop me from collecting weapons or other items. Is like having the time machine in my hands, having in a piece of evidence that was actually there, that was an active part of the Second World War.
Regards,
Gus

Hi Gus, nice set, buckle is by a maker called Gbr Kugel & Fink, the belt looks to be an early one, could even be WW1

Re: Another 1938 Heer buckle
Rick,
Nice buckle and belt indeed.
What I have seen is that the manufacturer´s logo is different on my buckle than in theothers I have seen on this thread. Mine has arial letters, not gothic, and the L does not underscore the rest of the letters. I suppose it is just another variation, but I think it is odd (not saying by any means rare).
Regards,
Gus
