lach470 Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Hey gang...This one showed up today and although it doesn't "fit the bill" when compared to other SA buckles - what makes this one special is that it's from a small firm that made only a few of these in the pre-RZM days before the big wig makers took over. Certainly looks different - that's what I like about SA buckles....There are so many different variants....Glad to add this one to the collection!Cheers!Rob
lach470 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 You can see how the eagle and the belt catch are different on this example....
Ben Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 First time I have ever seen a catch like this Rob, I dont think they have one in the Angolia or Nash book do they?
lach470 Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 Hey Ben....not sure if it's pictured in those books. It's certainly an early piece! Cheers!Rob
nesredep Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Hello!I think this look like a early SA .See the book Belt Buckles & Brocades of the Third Reich Angolia 1st edition 1982,page 85.All the best Nesredep

lach470 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Posted April 16, 2008 Hi Nesredep.....That's certainly an SA buckle - but yet another type of variant. Not quite the same as the one I have posted. Have a look at the eagle's head....my example has the head looking to your right as well but it's under the rope. Actually - that example you have shown looks like one of the smaller NSDAP Youth buckles that are identical to SA buckles but made smaller....Here's what I mean - it's a pic of one of my regular SA buckles beside the smaller example:Hope that helps....thanks for taking the time to post that pic!Rob
lach470 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Posted April 16, 2008 Here's a closeup of the buckle....I had a looksee and it appears I do have one like you have pictured....It's the top one - both these buckles are the small 35mm type.Cheers!Rob
