Chris Boonzaier Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Wow... there are some scarce/rare ones in amongst that lot!!! Very nice indeed!
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I was happy to get this 1912 dated one from the 182 R, one of the regts of the wifes great grandfather....
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Fantastic!! If I did not get mine for the "182" I would be insanely jealous!!!
Hoss Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Thanks Chris I'm not really a buckle collector and had to fight for that one at auction, now and again I pick one up they are cool and like looking at collections. This Bavarian is painted brass. Eric Edited January 10, 2014 by Hoss
dante Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Three new buckles for the collection, hope you like them
Chris Boonzaier Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I just picked up a Steel Saxon one with a BAXIX18 stamp on the belt...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 A nice one stamped to the 87th Ifantry Regiment in Mainz... Buckle made in mainz as well... just arrived in the post today...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I think the maker is " ? Mertin, Mainz" and is stamped 1915
Chip Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) The first initial looks like a "C." or "G.", but I have nothing close to this on my list, so it is a new one. Chip Edited December 31, 2014 by Chip
Fritz die Spinne Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 My Bavarian children. I keep turning them up in black; there are three here--a fourth resides with a friend. My feldgrau one is likely repainted in recent years, though I got it out of a collection in Germany. One brass and one steel came out of the US, the rest all came to me from overseas. Note the varied construction styles and the period repair to the one with the tab. Omitted mention of the blue souvenir tin in the above photo--it is a full sized Bavarian device mounted to a Gem Razor, UK, shaving set.

Must be super rare. A friend had one for the Musikmeister of the 2nd bavarian Jäger but it is unfortunately long gone.

Chris Boonzaier Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 I always wonder why the Bavarian's had their buckles made in Saxony ... nice stuff, especially the 182nd!!
