lach470 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hey gang! I've been waiting a long time to find one like this! Finally added one to the collection! For your buckle newbies - what sets this one apart is not that it is smaller than the reg. buckles. - it's that the eagle is looking in the other direction! All other buckles have the eagle looking to his left....this one had him looking to the right. These buckles were only produced from January 1936 to March 1936....only three months, making this buckle one of the rarest IMO! These were private purchase buckles used for parade. This one is as close to mint as you're gonna get! I'm quite happy with this addition!Here are some pics for you! Cheers!Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu W Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Hello Rob,Outstanding buckle. Not often you find the high points (breast feathers in particular) in that condition. I knew the production time frame was short but did not know the limits. Thanks for that piece of information...learn something new every day.Regards,Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
