Boy Howdy Posted March 24, 2021 #26 Posted March 24, 2021 Thank you Tony. I was on a fierce belt buckle hunt a few years back. The steel buckle came out of Serbia of all places. Seth
Boy Howdy Posted May 12, 2021 #29 Posted May 12, 2021 Here is a buckle that I can't explain. Maybe one of you have seen it before. Looks like a real low budget insurgent buckle.
Boy Howdy Posted May 22, 2021 #30 Posted May 22, 2021 Looks like a nice shiny plain Soviet export buckle to me.... PLAN combatants.

(From a Russian vet website) shows the same type of buckle worn by the Russian not insurgents

AKC123 Posted April 7, 2022 #34 Posted April 7, 2022 I believe the first canteen posted on the thread is a Romanian made canteen. Does anyone know if that’s correct? Obviously many eastern bloc countries supplied material to the insurgent groups.

reneblacky Posted February 26 #38 Posted February 26 This one came from a friend of Wifey's family whom was an ZA Angolan conflict veteran, and for the life of me I can't remember what it is - Police? It was one of his war trophy's.
Kia kaha Posted February 26 Author #39 Posted February 26 Hat is from the Venda Defence Force an independent state (Homeland) within South Africa’s borders. Dates to about 1982, nice rarely seen headdress
