AK Officers belt

Post by Ardennes »

Hello Gents -

I wanted to get some input - I'd like to get a Heer tropical officers belt and buckle - I have a source for the belt, but can't locate a repro officers buckle - any recommendations for a good repro and supplier?

thanks!

Plenty of repro SS officer belts, fewer Luft, even a few Party and labor organizations...but, as John said, the few Heer repros I've found were advertised as originals.

I'll keep looking - thanks!

Militaria.net in the UK now stocks the buckles,here is my conversion,I found photo's on WAF to get the stitching right on the belt slides and painted the buckle olive drab.
