    WTK: WWII Nazi German Belt Buckle, Dress Bayonet & Pouches

    I have a WWII Nazi Fireman's Dress Bayonet made by A.Ziegler Giengen a. Brenz. The WWII Germanicon issued Fireman’s dress bayonet is in the standard 98 Mauser pattern that was not meant to attach to a rifle and is clearly marked at the base of the blade A.Ziegler Giengen a. Brenz. with a nicled 9 ¾” blade. I have found this Dress Bayonet on several WWII Historical sites and found out that this maker is a rare maker of German WWII Fireman's Dress Bayonets.

    There are two pouches on this belt. Both appear to be made of pigs skin. One seems to be the standard 3 pocket ammo pouch. I could not find a makers mark on this triple pouch. The second pouch is a double pouch and has card board boxes in each pouch with one aluminium spent flare catridge in one of the boxes. The Makers mark on the back of this double pouch is in a Sheild marked: ZaK over N over 1915. Clearly a WWI pouch. I believe the triple pouch is also WWI. The Spent Aluminium Flare Cartridge is marked: Deichmann 9. 1940 over Verbrauch bis 31.10.46. There is a green stripe on the spent flare cartridge.

    The belt buckle is Gold in color. Has a Lion standing on it's back legs with two devil tails. There is a Swastika at 6 O'clock and leafs going around the boarder of the round belt buckle. I could not find any references to this belt buckle. I could not find a makers mark on the belt buckle. Could this have been issued to a Frenchicon Fireman working for the Nazi's?

    I would like to know more about these items and the values, especially the history and value of the belt buckle. The vet who brought this back never told me where in Europe he got this rig. The leather belt is history and falling apart.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Update.

    I found the belt buckle. Here is some info on it:

    Germanicon Occupied Bulgaria City State Buckle This is a World War II German City State Shield Crest Gilded Brass Buckle
    This buckle features the rampant lion of Bulgaria (no crown) and wreath with the swastika at the base.

    Here is a view of the back. It has no maker mark.

    This is a one piece buckle with a hinged retention.

    It measures 2-1/2 by 1-7/8 inches.

    The condition is used, near excellent

    $249.99


    Has anyone else seen one of these buckles?

    Can't tell for sure, but I think the 3 pocket pouch is WW 1. Is it deep enuf for 3 stripper clips?
    The belt u. buckle are for an officer and I think fireman, not sure. An unusual buckle.
