One of my favorite uniform accessories, the police belt buckle for other ranks! Sorry to those that might find this dull, although I'm missing the old thread after it vaporized into the unknown so I have to start this topic again! Especially due to continued hunting and adding new makers to the collection! Hope you enjoy and please add what you have!
First up is an overview and I'll continue to add detailed pictures when time permits.  |

Interestingly marked "OTC" in a diamond, but the letters are backwards as of the guy who made the stamping die forgot that it would be reversed in the final stamping. Have no idea if this is common. Regards, Bill Unland  |

Bill, those Prussian examples are very nice! By chance are there any markings on the reverse? I must find me one of those and soon!!! That Overhoff & Cie., Lüdenscheid, is also a choice example! Here is my only Overhoff example: (BTW, thanks for a flicker of life on this thread!)  |

Dave,
AHHH, not a "T", a symbol for "and". I get it. No marks on the Prussians. Here is a 1936 dated RS&S Gendarmerie. Bill U  |
