Buckle from the sales department of E.Reitz Antwerpen

[whcamo]

The E.Reitz company never made these buckles. In fact they ordered their buckles themselves with a Belgian company.
All these Belgian made buckles have the same features : big nob for the pin that holds the claw, rude assembled hook and a silver like paint.

Also my opinion.
To me they where made in Antwerp by Indian Cap's.

Indian Caps made uniforms and buckles from 1964 on, not during the war.(in that time they did paparworks)
So , where were they made?????

I mean business in paper.

The name wasn't Indian Caps at that time, but Van Koetsem.
I empty the whole stock or should I say the remaining stock, because many visitors, before me, took some with them as a souvenir (if you see what I mean!). But still the left overs where like about 50.000 die's.
I still got some, but nog for long anymore because I am closing down too.
The family was very anxious about all the paperwork regarding the Van koetsem / Indian Cap's entreprise, and didn't left any. So I can not say when they exactly started and what they did, but when I cleaned the whole building I had like twenty different dies with swastika's among the pile. So my guess is; Van Koetsem must have made buckles and insigna's during the war.
