DAK D Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Here are some Heer tropical buckles from my collection. The first tropical buckle was made by Gustav Brehmer in 1940 (GB40) It was a bring back by an South African Vet from the Western Desert Campaign. The second tropical buckle is another early buckle manufactured by Hermann Aurich, it was probably made in 1940, but it has no maker markings or date. The third tropical buckle has no visible maker mark, but the colour would suggest 1941 and afterwards. The forth tropical buckle is dated 1941 under the tropical tab, sadly I can't see any manufacturers stamp.

DAK D Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Hermann Aurich manufactured tropical buckle, no maker markings, but obviously made by Hermann Aurich in 1940 or early 1941. Edited September 22, 2016 by DAK D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAK D Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) This Heer tropical buckle is dated 1941, but as I already stated there is no visible manufacturers marking and "41" is visible under the tropical webbing tab. It is possible that this buckle was made by Gustav Brehmer in 1941. D Edited September 22, 2016 by DAK D 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
