Ben Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 Hi guys, I have a new buckle en route to me which again is another enigma. The buckle is marked K&N. It is pressumed that this is the makers mark for Kurbi u Niggeloh, Radevormwald (M5/51). Does anyone have a buckle marked with these markings underneath the roller bar and a matching leather tab so we can confirm whether or not this is the actual maker? Any help with this would be really appreciated Many thanks

Ben Posted June 26, 2008 Author Posted June 26, 2008 Well guys, I can confirm that K&N is in fact Kurbi u Niggeloh, I e-mailed the factory and they confirmed that they used this makers mark during WW2 :D
lach470 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Way cool! Congrats on finding out! Man, I would have never thought of emailing the company to find out if this hallmark was used in ww2. Very cool! Nice feeling isn't it!!!Cheers!Rob
