Two Piece HJ buckles - non conversion DJ buckles
Hello guys,
I would like to start a thread here about a very rare type of HJ buckle.. one that was not supposed to exist. 2 piece HJ .. I need to clarify that what I am talking about does not include the DJ conversion buckles.
Regulations never approved HJ to be made in 2 piece production; and my opinion is that this was because kids had to wear them while playing, hiking and just being kids in them (which meant a 2 piece design was not sturdy enough). They exist anyway. I have a few examples which are marked, that show that manufacturers made these for some reason... maybe to use up stock of 2 piece materials on hand? or perhaps to fill an immediate order and didn't have the right materials for the order that day? Regardless of the reason, they made them.
I would love for anyone holding any of these rare buckles to please post them here in this thread.. I will post my examples in the morning ( it is 1am here )
Thank you,
Chad

Looking forward to seeing your examples. I have never come across one. I helped my buddy Garry sort through about a 100 HJ buckles and he didn’t have any. He must of had 8-10 of the nickel Assmann with the 4 marks by the catch. That might be the most common HJ buckle.
