UBB.threads Forums Uniform & Accessories Belts and Buckles Forum This is one belt buckle I would like to have

I saw this cruising the net and thought I would share it with you all. I am very fascinated with it, actually it just plain blows my mind. I have a few buckles but none quite like this.

there is an all engraved one out there somewhere.. And, a couple in the old War Booty books IF I remember right.. Def. not your everyday day find!

Here is another one that is listed in John Angolias book Belt Buckles & Brocades of the 3rd Reich. Thios one show the ss eagle but the markings are nearly the same.

I see the two buckle prongs on one end, but I can't figure out how the belt attaches to the other end.

Grumpy. Just looked in the book and it dopesn't show or tell how the belt was attached to the buckle! It shows a bottom pic of the buckle but is smooth and show no where the belt would hook!
