February 13, 20197 yr #1 Buckle the "Kassernierten Volkspolizei (KVP) (=Barracked People's Police). Early buckle from the GDR time. Brass sheet without symbol. The "Bereitschaften der Volkspolizei" (1948-1952) and the KVP (1952-1956) were the predecessors of the NVA. Stronger worn piece. The belt was made from a German WW2 belt. Inside you can see the acceptance stamp HVA. (HVA = Hauptverwaltung Ausbildung - Higher-level department since 1952)
February 13, 20197 yr #3 Very nice early belts and buckles. Does the WWII period belt retain any old markings or does it just the "HVA" stamp?
February 13, 20197 yr #4 Only the HVA Stamp. The part with the maker mark is missing. This is belt made between 1941 - 1942/43. In the most cases you will only find a maker mark on such late WW2 belts.
