This buckle does not look like any Bw "Kastenschloss" variant I have seen before and is not mentioned in any of my Bw uniform books but I never say never until the opposite is proven. Marking looks like "OLC" (Overhoff & Cie from Luedenscheid), a well known Army supplier, so it was obviously made in Germany. Some thoughts, maybe a prototype or a very very short existing variant? Maybe made for other services like Zivilschutz, Red Cross, etc.? Maybe made for another country´s forces. I have to do some more research. Question: Is the flap rubberized?  

Unknown to me 

Hi Dave and welcome to the WMF!   Lars

Hello,   does this jacket could be a UK ww2 Khaki Drill /  Bush Jacket ?   

Absolutely, these are always learning opportunities for us all  : )

Hi, i recently acquired this buckle. Looks Bundeswehr. The framed pebbling, the drab nylon flap but pronged and with a non combat style female hook catch. one small marking inside, which i have tried to show. Thoughts anyone ?  

Hi Sarge, thanks for the welcome.  over the decades i've had all sorts, no fixed passion. A few Stahlhelm, mostly US & UK WW2 uniforms & equipment. At one point i had 16 WW2 Denison smocks and several Mk2 HSATs all WW2 dated. Never had a huge amount at one time as i worked around the globe and tended to enjoy the chase, then sell to fund the next one. Over the last few years i've been winding things down & focus more on my allotment garden, my motorbike, bicycle & walking.  Do you have areas of special interest ? cheers Dave

Thanks for your thoughts gents, it's as i expected.  i bought it thinking "fake" and it cost me half the price of a cheap repro.  i was planning to hammer out the swastika so i could use it on a belt as i like the design so much but then had a moment of self-doubt & thought i better double check lol. Now where's my hammer and anvil ?!  And i should also say that i am glad that my photos will hopefully help other collectors

I have to agree with Sarge, it appears to be a fake unfortunately. Apparently this type was produced in the 60's. Here's a known fake to compare it with.       

These circles look like spot welds to hold the loop on.  I don't like that they show through from back to front.  I also don't like the prongs or the leather tab.   We have some buckle collectors that have more expertise than I.  Let's see what they say.    

Welcome aboard Dave.  What have you been collecting over the past 50 years?      

What are these?
