Just to compliment the thread on the unknown brocade thread Wim saris has sent me pics of his friends collection (which was stolen btw)

Here is a SA High |leaders buckle which also shows the Brocade pics courtesy of Mr Gillain

For reference, as seen in the F.W. Assman catalog..

My buddy Garry has this Assmann. Emedals sold a silver leader’s buckle marked M4/39. Also an Assmann but it must be a later production.

This is all I could find in my files, One marked F.L.L. Friedrich Linden, Ludenscheid, there is another buckle semi similar, but I believe it is a fake.. For all I know, both of these are spurious..

Angolia's revised edition says these were only used with the brocade belt. I am surprised more examples didn't survive the war still attached to the brocade.
