Reichswehr Variant: Private Purchase?
Hello All,
Here is a piece I just purchased and which appears to be out of Marc V.'s former collection. Not in hand yet, however I believe this is a smaller size (40mm) nickel silver Reichswehr buckle. I have not seen this D.R.G.M. marking and variant construction on a Reichswehr before but it resembles some private purchase and under the tunic parade type pieces.
Any comments or info would be most welcome and appreciated!
Best,
Adam

Adam,
my brother bought once such a buckle and if I remember right it was sized for a 35 mm belt.
I think also it is a privat purchase piece. A quite similar construction with friction roller is well known from imperial privat purchase buckles.
Best,
Guido

Nice buckles guys, and not so often seen in this size

Very cool buckle! Love the way the back has been constructed. Very neat! Kirby: I too have the same buckle as you. I do believe these had a gold gilt to them when they were first made (KM maybe?)
