My latest find

[Michael]

Hi all. I wanted to show off my latest belt. I hope to be able to aquire the Luftwaffe version eventually. I had one recently but had to send it back because it just didn't measure up. It may have been a copy. Anyway, this is one of those that has the hook and eye closure. It doesn't appear to have been worn all that often. Does anyone happen to know it these were earlier than the ones they made with the strip of leather and the two pronged keeper?

Hi...that's a good question. I don't know for sure which came first as these types of belts aren't my area of expertise. If I get any info on that though....I'll be sure to pass it on down.

In any case....wicked looking setup! Congrats Mike!

Thanks Rob. I think it's a real beauty. I did pose this question to someone I thought might know and he said people seem to think of these as the earlier ones. I just got the revised edition of John Angolia's buckle book and I don't see anything pertaining to this.

I also had a look at Jack's book and didn't find anything that relates to the belt having the cloth or leather buckle keeper section.

Next time I speak with him, I'll ask to see if he knows more about it....I'm sure he does! I'll let you know what he says!

Cheers!
