robert pierce Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Hi all... Could someone please post a photo of a blue Luftwaffe tropical enlisted web belt with buckle? Were they actually blue? I heard it was against regulation for a tan tropical web belt to be worn with a blue tropical tunic, such as the tropical flak tunic. I assume the blue Luftwaffe buckle was worn with the blue web belt.???Robert
lach470 Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I don't have one of those belts, let alone a picture - but I'll certainly keep my eyes open for some pics. Can't help you with your question - sorry - but it's a great question though...hopefully someone else can pipe in here and let us know!Cheers!Rob
robert pierce Posted July 19, 2007 Author Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks Rob, I'll have to dress my tropical blue flak tunic with a black belt and blue steel buckle until a blue web comes along. The tunic was hard enough to find, the web will be even harder I suspect.Robert
lach470 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Hey...I don't doubt it! They don't come around very often....I'm trying (and failing) to remember ever seeing one offered up for sale. I'm sure they are out there....just a matter of hunting 'em down! Best of luck....if any cross my path...I'll let you know!Happy hunting! Cheers!!Rob
robert pierce Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 Gene, on the WAF, posted a near mint one tonight with the blue steel buckle! What a beauty! It was the only one he has seen in 30 or 40 years! Now, I know I'm going to have to settle for a black leather belt and blue buckle.Robert
lach470 Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 hmmmmm, 40 years is a long time to wait! hahahahaI think your setup will look just fine with the black leather belt. Just get one that isn't too minty - or shiny. That should be quite easy. It will have that desert worn appearance to it. Still doesn't mean that you can't keep looking in the meantime! Best of luck!Cheers!Rob
Paul R Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I did not know that these even existed!! I would love to see one.

Chris Boonzaier Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 I used to have the belt and Y-Straps in blue ages ago, I think I sold them to Bill shea.

robert pierce Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 If I can find one, it's for this tunic...http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/sho...ad.php?t=233191Robert
