Gracias. Pasé algún tiempo "en el sur" cuando era más joven.

Thank you Bayern. That is what I was thinking also. All the other ones I could find online have some sort of insignia. Gracias Bayern Eso es lo que estaba pensando también. Todos los otros que pude encontrar en línea tienen algún tipo de insignia.

I saw this plain brass buckle described as a condor legion tankers buckle. I have never seen one like this before. I know there were similar buckles made during the Spanish American War in the Philippines. I have no idea what the back of the buckle pictured looks like. Does anyone know if this was a common Spanish army buckle of the time or specific to Legion Condor panzer soldiers? Thank you in advance for any information.

Soviet “insurgent” buckles
Norman ben Nathan replied to Mark McM's topic in Russia: Soviet: Other Militaria
about a minute in you see Namibian troops all decked out in Soviet gear and they are wearing the plain brass buckles. -

Cuban Guards Badge or Medal ??
Norman ben Nathan replied to Norman ben Nathan's topic in Republic of Cuba
I am guessing, IMHO, that this grouping may be from a Veteran of the War in Angola. They did kick some Apartheid butt their. Or it could be from the Afghan War since many Paratroopers were sent their and they did have armor and AAA. Who knows, Cuba is not very forthcoming with information these days. LOL -
Cuban Guards Badge or Medal ??
Norman ben Nathan replied to Norman ben Nathan's topic in Republic of Cuba
Taz: Vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort auf meine Nachricht und für die nützlichen Informationen. Ich hatte ein Foto eines alten kubanischen Veteranen gefunden, der alle seine Medaillen trug. Er hatte ein Wachabzeichen, aber ich kann das verdammte Foto nicht finden ... Pride: Grazie per aver risposto al mio post e per le informazioni utili. Avevo trovato una foto di un vecchio veterano cubano che indossava tutte le sue medaglie. Aveva un distintivo delle guardie ma non riesco a trovare quella dannata foto ... Thank you for responding to my posting and for the useful information. I had found a photo of an old Cuban veteran wearing all his medals. He did have a guards badge but I can't seem to find that damn photo... -
Just picked up this Cuban grouping. Anyone familiar with what appears to be a type of Guards badge? It has a screw back and the only mark on the nut is a 5 pointed star. Any information as to what units would have worn this and why would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a picture of one of these belts that sold on the South African auction site Bid or Buy. It was a bring back from the Angolan Bush War. Even though the above buckle is the standard Cuban shield I wanted to show that the canvas buckles were being used in the border war, -
Help ID these Boots WW2 Jungle boots?????
Norman ben Nathan replied to Norman ben Nathan's topic in United States of America
I found pictures of these boots on a military web site. They are described as "1940's UDT swim shoes." Any old Frogmen out there that can verify this? Thanks again! NBN -
Where can I get one of those belts? I have the steel buckles with the Cuban shied and FAR, both on the rubber coated canvas belts. That would be my Hat Trick! lol Dove posso trovare una di quelle cinture? Ho le fibbie in acciaio con la piastrina cubana e FAR, entrambe sulle cinture di tela rivestite di gomma. Quello sarebbe il mio trucco del cappello! lol
