WW2 GERMAN POLIZEI (POLICE) - BELT & BUCKLE - C.T.D.
Good one look belt & buckle set.
Textbook pebbled buckle with no issues and correctly stamped for the company of ,Christian Theodore Dicke, Ludensheid.
Interestingly the leather work on this set on both the buckle tab and belt itself is maker mkd. for " K. Budde - Bremen ".
This is a documented buckle with this configuration .
This is not the first buckle to have the Budde tang and correctly mkd. on the long piece as opposed to C.T.D.'s own Ludenscheid tab.
The tab has the broad end found on many Polizei buckles going over the end swivel.
The belt itself is a large size with two stampings to the leather, one the size , the other ?
Stout thick leather which is nice and supple, the inside buckle adjuster strip has a little bit of damage otherwise this is a cracking belt and in a large size.
As well as that it has the owners name in ink and " Fw. 6 " possibly a fire worker although most fire workers buckles were blackened.
Textbook belt and buckle and I've forum posted this for authenticity and it's come back with a thumbs up but one member noting that blackened finish is usual on Fire Police buckles .
I can't go back in time and explain that, however the fact both the buckle tang and belt itself is Budde tells me the most likely explanation is a policeman transferred to the fire service ?
Bottom line, this belt and buckle have always been together.
One Look original set in good order.
