Hi All

Has anyone seen a belt buckle like this before? It came with a mixed box of other Third Reich and Imperial belt buckles. Its unmarked and is of two piece construction.

I don't know much about these, maybe others can chime in, but it does look similar in appearance to WW1 German Officer buckles or pre-WW2 types. The WW1 models seem to have a more rounded catch on the back, this one looks more squared.

Yes- I was wondering if it was an Army Chaplains buckle (if they existed) but I can’t track any examples down.

Never seen one like this before, certainly looks like a chaplain of some sort.

Hi All

I have found out that it is possibly a Freikorps Hannover Officers buckle.

There are pictures of plenty of fakes on the Internet with a slogan/ motto on them but I’ve yet to find a picture of a real one- apparently real ones don’t have a motto (like this one). I don’t know if it’s real but one step closer to finding out I hope.
