Aluminium Luftwaffe buckle Dransfeld

**georgi** · 07-16-2023, 12:06 AM

Hello. Today I am showing another Dransfeld buckle but this one is aluminum. After looking at the Dransfeld aluminum buckles shown on the forum, I think this buckle is genuine. I noticed that there are two versions of the eagle on these buckles. I guess the type of eagle depends on the year of manufacture. This version of the eagle is characteristic of the buckles after 1937, which matches the marking. Please give an opinion. Thanks georgi.

Glad to help Georgi. To be sure, you likely may have looked at this one. One of my best and favorite early Luftwaffe rigs

Thanks for the help. I looked at a few buckles from this early version but they were all sold. When I come across such a good early example I will certainly buy it. Buckles are not the main segment of TR items that I collect, but some time ago I bought a belt with a Heer buckle, which turned out to be a Dransfeld. I then decided to collect the various Dransfeld models. So far I have only seen HEER, RAD, Luftwaffe two variants and police buckles. I don't know if there are other types? Here is an unissued early example for sale, but the price...

Hello again. The buckle has been ordered and delivered. After examining the buckle in detail, I noticed another mark that is not visible from the photos on the website.
