One of my favorite uniform accessories, the police belt buckle for other ranks! Sorry to those that might find this dull, although I'm missing the old thread after it vaporized into the unknown so I have to start this topic again! Especially due to continued hunting and adding new makers to the collection! Hope you enjoy and please add what you have!

First up is an overview and I'll continue to add detailed pictures when time permits.

And my only gold buckle:

Interestingly marked "OTC" in a diamond, but the letters are backwards as of the guy who made the stamping die forgot that it would be reversed in the final stamping. Have no idea if this is common.

Regards,
Bill Unland

Bill, those Prussian examples are very nice! By chance are there any markings on the reverse? I must find me one of those and soon!!!

That Overhoff & Cie., L�denscheid, is also a choice example! Here is my only Overhoff example:

Dave,

AHHH, not a "T", a symbol for "and". I get it.

No marks on the Prussians.

Here is a 1936 dated RS&S Gendarmerie.

Just to add some basic info about the German phrase "Gott mit uns" :-

"Gott mit uns (meaning God With Us) was a phrase most known as the motto of the royal house of Prussia, and formed part of the military emblem of Prussia and later Germany.

The phrase was also used as battle cry in the Thirty Years' War and was one of the three official mottoes by Gustavus Adolphus. Note the reference to Nobiscum Deus (Latin, "God with us"), used by Romans and East-Romans as a battle cry.

During World War II, Wehrmacht soldiers wore this slogan on their belt buckles, as opposed to members of the Waffen SS, who wore the motto Meine Ehre hei�t Treue ("My honor is loyalty")." - Wikipedia.

Cheers,
Ibrahim.


Looking for all relevant info & items on the WW2 German U-boats in Singapore and Asia for my research.

Dear Bernd,

Thanks for posting. You have a great selection of types there.

And I also thank our compatriot from Singapore for finally explaining to me why German buckles have "Gott Mit Uns" on them. Now I know.

Best regards,

Now a "late war " type again , but this one has a darker finish than the other 2 of this type that I have , and I feel this might as well have been for the firepolice .This one has a leather tab , but no markings on it .

..and this time there is no hmk. , but there are the letters "D.R.G.M." : which I think stands for " Deutsches Reichs Guilde Mitglied", meaning the manufacturer of this buckle was a member of the German Reich's Trade/Kraft's Union .

I think that the police buckles are some of the most beautiful buckles in the collecting field. My favorite is the Landpolizei Buckle. Does anyone have any of these buckles that they can post?

Beautiful buckles guys.
I've always wanted one, but they're usually too pricey for my miniscule hobby funds.
