Dan Patton Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I'm new to this site, and I have a question for the experts regarding a buckle in my collection.It is smaller than the one's you normally see....I have photo'd it next to a ordinary field buckle,so you can get an idea of the size....can anyone give me any info on this buckle?

Tom Y Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Your scan isn't showing, but I would imagine it's for a child's play uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Murphy Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Yes, possibly for a kinder uniform, but I have a trench made buckle that it about 3/4 the size of the real article. It is ugly and crude using the roundel from a match safe, but it is real. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lach470 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Well, that's not what I expected to see. I actually thought it would be smaller!It actually looks like the match case covers but as previsouly mentioned it was probably a patriotic type buckle sold to the public for wear. I have some Third Reich and Weimar trouser buckles and they appear to be smaller than that one though. Any chance at seeing how the rear of the buckle is setup ? Thanks! Very intersting and nice to see!Cheers!Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Patton Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 [attachmentid=53039]Hi Rob...Thanks for your reply. as requested, here is a photo of the back of the buckle.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lach470 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 As expected, it is a two piece buckle. As previously mentioned, it looks like a type of buckle that was sold to the public for patriotic reasons. I like it! Certainly looks good and unique to boot!The only problem I see is that it doesn't reside in my collection! Thanks for posting the pics. Wish I could tell you more!Cheers...Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
