Great collection! For some reason the image of 103 Germans running around trying to hold up their pants popped into my head.

Very nice display Ben...

saab-bob · 10-15-2013, 04:40 PM

Wow!
Are those buckles all different?
Never realized there where so many different varieties!
Thanks
Bob

Ben Evans · 10-15-2013, 04:52 PM

Bob, thats just the Heer buckles, most of them are by different makers

Arizona Slim · 10-15-2013, 05:17 PM

That's truly an outstanding collection Ben, mind if I ask how long it took to put it together?

Lon I have been collecting German belt buckles for nine years, I also moderate the Warrelics forum on German belt buckles, literally 1000's have passed through my hands. Quite a good hobby as there are so many different makers and variations, even today there are makers marks that are unknown to collectors!

Thanks Ben, that looks like an area of collecting that I could take an interest in.

Ben, A fellow Belt Buckle collector! I started because it was a cheap fun alternative to $5000 Luger's!
I started out collecting very rare buckles..Got some beauties so far but always looking.
