That's a Mills grenade detonator tin.

Hi Lenny,

That is one great collection of belts and buckles.

Is that an old spec MP40?

Thanks, just updated with some more buckles..

The MP40 is actually an MGC68, which to be honest is very rare... I fitted it with original bakelite, and is full auto blank firing.

Cheers mate, appreciated.... I've added another few pics of some more of my collection. I'd paused buckles for a while as I was getting into German Grenades, but I feel I'm being drawn back to the buckles....

We have many of the same buckles but you also have some that I don't (envious!). 

Do any of your ww1 Saxon buckles have unit markings stamped on them? (mine don't, unfortunately).

Thanks for the extra pics!

I've got a few unit marked Saxons, will get pics. Seems more common on Saxons...

Lenny, what kind of buckle is this one?

[Lenny]

DJ, Deutsches Jungvolk, German Youth, basically the younger kids than the Hotler Youth.

Awesome.  I have never seen one before. I like the look of it

Very impressive Lenny.  I wasn't aware of the huge number of variants.
