I think you and a lot of people who merged into who? there are some good threads to read on this if you search, Wim Saris gave out some good info if I recall correctly?

I have always thought that these were so similar it is difficult to discern them from which branch..
I'd rather be A "RaD Man than a Mad Man "
Hello,
In my opinions, the wings are only a manufacturer variant.
The DLV joined(1935?)in the Luftwaffe and with the Leather tab the buckle is a early Luftwaffen buckle ...
Without leather tab before 1935? = DLV, after 1935 without leather tab = RLB 1st model....1938 =RLB 2nd.pattern

P. S. Nice buckle!
I have seen photos of both RLB and DLV wearing both style of eagles. Only a small percentage of these buckles can be found with leather tab. Any of these with a tab is most likely DLV.
Really nice DLV/RLB buckle with the leather maker tab, like the 1935 crank-catch Luftwaffe buckles. Here is my Paulmann & Crone example in nice condition. Sarahs, nice to see another Luft buckle collector here!
