Drop tail aluminum Luftwaffe buckle.

My example of a worn and repaired buckle.

The post has been replaced by a nail.

It must have been common practice to repair a broken post with a nail.

I saw the same repair on a RAD buckle with a leather tab.

Hey Joe! I think Gary was refering to mine which I sold about 2 weeks ago. It was also repaired in the same manner. You have a nice buckle there....I have one that is soooo salty, I should try to find another but I like it.

Here's a pic of the RAD buckle I had....but since sold....sorry that I have only this one pic but you can clearly see the head of the nail on the bottom of the prong bar.

Cheers...
