Chris Boonzaier Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 HI, how much variation is there to the Bavarian Buckle? I think of them as "There is a brass and nickle version... and a steel one...." ... but with Saxon ones there seem to be way more variation (I am talking the standard one here, not regiment specific. Sttel, brass, zink etc.. Were the saxons simply more experimental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz die Spinne Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I have observed: Nickel on brass (or Tombak--but do not seem to see the Tombak except rarely) Nickel completely for Leib, Pionier, usw. Steel with the medallion applied like on the earlier style. These are more commonly painted black instead of Feldgrau. Steel stamped from one piece, painted Black or Feldgrau. I also see many more Bavarian buckles painted Feldgrau over the Nickel/Brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who wears silver buttons would have a silver (nickel) belt buckle. Same for Prussia as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Are you sure? this has them with regular ones? If they did have nickel ones I have something to add to my "to buy" list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz die Spinne Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Well, I have seen a handful, and this was easily the understanding. Private purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
