lach470 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hey gang....with Joe's SA buckle post I thought I would show the three different types of swastikas used on SA buckles.Now, there are other "types" of SA buckles but all used one of these three types of swastikas...Here is the hardest to find: The horizontal swastika SA[attachmentid=52562][attachmentid=52563] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Adams Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 May I ask if there are many maker variants of these buckles? If yes roughly how many?What would be a good book for SA buckle reference?Thanks and sorry for all the questions.Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lach470 Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 No problem on the questions - we learn by asking! Now, as for SA variants: WHOA! I have to say that there were about 30 different SA manufacturers and many gave their SA buckles a distinct look. It's safe to say that SA buckles are the type of buckle that have the most variants! I have about 9 or 10 and they are all different in one way or another: different eagle, different swas, perhaps a different field,.....it goes on and on. As for reference books - altough they aren't perfect, I use Peter Nash's reference as well as John Angolia's book.Hope this info helps!Cheers!Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu W Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hello Rob, you have some nice buckles there. I'm still looking for a good horizontal style myself. As Stephen has asked about variants I thought I would show three of my favourites. Hope you don't mind the add on to your thread.Regards to all,Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lach470 Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hi Stu! No probs man! It's nice to have some members contributing to the buckle section! Is there any chance we could get some pics of the backs of the buckles? I have to say that I have not seen the top buckle style before. I've seen white metal SA buckles (commonly refered to as NSKK) but not with a brass roundel....Thanks!Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Adams Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Thanks for helping with answers lach470, stu that top buckle is an absolute killer!I have spent most of yesterday searching dealers sites and looking at pictures of these.Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu W Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hello Rob,As requested (better late than never) are the three reverses.First will be the upper most buckle, then the lower left and last the lower right.Regards,Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu W Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Rob,The reverse shot of the sunwheel Swas buckle (last one) has what looks like randon scratching on it but in fact it's a name.Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lach470 Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Have you ever been able to make out the name? That's pretty cool! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

--dj--Joe Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Would anyone have a list of markings found on HJ and or DJ buckles?Feel it would be a benefit to all.--dj--Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lach470 Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 WOW....that is no small task. Not too many DJ buckles were marked...but MANY, MANY, MANY HJ's were marked by a MANY,MANY manufacturers....and there are all kinds of markings. It would be a very time consuming effort. It would benefit us for sure....hopefully someone can find the time? I can't!Cheers!Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) Hi guys, how about starting with the M4 makers list, most of them would have made HJ/DJ buckles there are some rare HJ buckles on this M4 list, this is another forum that I moderate on,might be usefulhttp://warrelics.eu/forum/german-third-rei...-m4-makers.html Edited March 7, 2008 by Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--dj--Joe Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) Ben, thanks for the link, quite a list. What about a list covering the known transitional marks. That should be doable.--dj--Joe Edited March 7, 2008 by --dj--Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
