Turnerbund belt buckle ?

[Marcin L]

Hello.

Could anyone tell in which period this belt buckle was made?

Kind regards,

ML.

Nice buckle. Hard to say when it would have been issued exactly...The patents from Adolf Baumeister's buckles date from 1926 to 1934.

These aren't rare buckles but yours is harder to find than the regular 48mm issue. If I'm correct, your buckle is the 40mm variant. Looks much smaller (when you compare to the prongs to the buckle) and the missing "ears" tell me this one is smaller.

I like it! You don't see these 40mm buckles that often! Cheers!

Thank you Rob! So, it is not any post-war production?

Hello Marcin! No, I don't think this is post-war....I could be wrong but I think it shows pre-45 type of construction.

I have heard that this organization did and continues to operate though so there must be some post-45 buckles being manufactured.

But I like the look of this one!

Cheers!

Here is my example: a 48mm Hallmarked example made by Overhoff
