Reichswehr Belt & Buckle

Recommended Posts

Here's a nice Reichswehr belt and buckle from my collection. The buckle has very little wear and still has much of the original green paint present.

The Tab on the buckle is marked with Schmöle & Comp. Menden 1928

The belt is also a early one, dated to 1935.

I have a theory, that they are depot stamps. I have seen them on other RW buckles as well, but with different numbers, if I remember correctly.
B might stand for Berlin, perhaps. One of your RW buckles also has the B stamp, ant I think i spot a number 4 in addition to the regimental stamps on your buckle,  - 7/JR 50
It's the second RW buckle you posted in this thread:
