Trench Art belt buckle

RedHorseman25 · 02-06-2010, 03:11 AM

This is a reproduction that I made, but it is based on a description of what both Partisans, and Red Army troops did just to "stick it" to the enemy.

What I did was take one of the cheap repop SS belt buckles, drill a hole in the center of the swastika, and install a Soviet Cockade, then solder it in.

If anyone out there has a real one, I would love to see it.

Sorry Boridin, if you included a photograph, it's not showing. Try it again.

They show on my end.

I can view the images. Nice job Bruce! However, you may want to use an earlier type star - the one you have used is the model of 1964.

There is a discussion about these here: http://warrelics.eu/forum/soldiers-t...-buckles-3297/

I can't find the more correct star cockade.

I would have used a more correct one, but I haven't got one.

I am sure myself or Dimas can help you find one.

Honestly, I didn't want this to be "to" correct, as I did not want it to end up being passed off as original.

Needless to say, I would not try to do that, but I won't live forever.
