Auseklis Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Dear Colleagues, is someone able to identify this buckle? This one showed up in France, another (shown at warrelics) was found in Russia. http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/discussions/is-this-a-taliban-belt-buckle-289767/ Edited July 10, 2013 by Auseklis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion101 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Not Turkish but the belt buckle is an Army EM/NCO from the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. I am sure that the belt buckle was worn by the Republic of Afghanistan troops as well up until 1992. When the government collapse partly because of the lost of support from the Soviet Union.

Chris Boonzaier Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Maybe bring backs from a German NATO troop who then tossed them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auseklis Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) The patina suggests that they have been in the ground for quite some decades. Edited July 10, 2018 by Auseklis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demir Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 May be they belong to the Asian Turkish Troops under the Nazi Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I don't think so, Demir. The various foreign troops recruited into the Wehrmacht and subsumed into the SS late in the war had their own sleeve and shoulder patches but I'm pretty sure they wore standard Wehrmacht/SS buttons on standard tunics.
