FAD Buckle


Gwar

Recommended Posts

I used to collect FAD buckles and still have some, Now I have been focusing on Generalarbeitsfuhrer / Arbeitsgaufuhrer's,

Lost RAD Abt. and Arbeitslagers and Emsland units.. I have about 80-90 buckles, and a few brocades all RAD, one brocade mint unissued

in original box and wrapping paper. I will post again soon on the correlation of Richard Sieper & Sohn and the truth behind Paulmann

and Crone RAD buckles.

My goodness, what an array! (I've got one buckle, but a  good one) My mother-in-law had the name of Paulmann (Paulmann & Krone) after her second marriage!

My only example, by a Lüdenscheid maker, 1937

Thanks Fritz, Ludenscheid was probably the biggest area of buckle manufacturers,

F.W. Assman & Sohn,  Richard Sieper & Sohn,  Christian Theodore Dicke , Fredrich Linden,  Overhof & Cie, Ernst Schneider etc;

etc;. Do you recognize the maker of your specimen ?  Very interested to see what Co. produced your example. I will soon start

a thread that will demonstrate most RAD buckle makers marks.. G

Both tab and buckle are by RS & S, Sieper & Söhne, Lüdenscheid, 1937  as the majority of buckles seem to be. The script on the tab is a bit hard to make out, apart from Lüdenscheid. Lüdenscheid/Pfalz was one of the bigger manufacturing areas of the leather industry apart from Offenbach/M.   BASF (Badische Analin- u. Sodafabriken AG) produced the chemicals for the analine dyes and tans. Some definite wear to the soft aluminium of the buckle, slight patina. This example came from a dealer in England.

Fritz, Much obliged for the additional  pics, this is what it looked like when originally  issued.

I plan on posting the Brocade very soon from now.  G

Do you also have some belts for these? It's a shame that so many belts have landed on the scrapheap and only buckles being cherished.
There used to be tons of good belts available, now you only occasionally see a poor example.

Yes, Fortunately I do have the belts that came with some of my RAD buckles and a few are R.A.D. BA  marked or marked with a RAD Gau. XXXII stamping for example..
