Guys,
I thought that you might be interested in what an early German trade buckle looks like. Leading up to and during WWII the Germans had a different buckle for every aspect of their society. The buckle in the photo is very rare, I have never seen another one like it.
I have also been updating my web site in the buckle area and will soon add another 50 photos.
