Hey guys....I've got quite a few HJ's - some hard to find examples included - but this is my first "KH" example and it arrived a couple hours ago.

This buckle (exactly like the pictured on p.501/ Nash) is considered a "transitional" buckle - back in the time when RZM was first introduced and there was a lot of confusion floating around as to how buckles should be marked/stamped.

I love this one! Lots and lots of markings: KH (for Koppelschlosshersteller), M4/49 for Steinhauer and Luck, RZM and the St. & L logo!

Assumed to be used sometime between 1934 and 1935, after the UE stampings and before the full out RZM regulations, I really like this example!

A welcome addition to the collection!

Here are some pics for you guys!

Cheers!

Sweet! I love when the buckles are marked with several markings.

Glad you like it Ray!

Cheers!

Any other transitional buckles to show?

Hey! Sorry! No more transitional buckles for me to show....though I have been adding more HJ's to my collection - and actually am waiting on yet another!


Cheers!
