Mark McM Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hi, These recently came into my possession. From what little information in English is floating around on the interweb, these have been described as penal battalion buckles, but I’ve seen several photos showing this plain Soviet buckle being worn by various terrorist forces in South Africa (Bush War). The steel example shown here came by way of Serbia. Anyone have other information on these plain buckles and their issuance? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman ben Nathan Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 about a minute in you see Namibian troops all decked out in Soviet gear and they are wearing the plain brass buckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergey Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 There are many variants of uniform items made in the USSR for foreign armies. This is an example for Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
