I am still trying to determine what the Lion clasp is…too big for a button as it is about 1.5" x 1.5"… It is also pretty heavy.I am pretty sure the Nazi piece is a Koppelschloß..possibly SA Koppelschloß…basically like a belt buckle. Too bad it's in crappy condition.. Still cool for me. The religious figure seems to be some type of rosary…still researching that also. The great thing about finding things here in Bavaria is that most everything you find is usually quite old. So many good opportunities to hunt for things here.

Your Lions Head device appears to be a British cloak clasp from the 1700's. Here is a link to a similar modern reproduction.

Nice find on the SA buckle, too bad it got torn up like that. Looking forward to seeing your finds in the future, a lot of history in that area.

The religious figure looks like silver - on the screen. Great finds!

You're on the right track. It's SA related and with that much variations of them and the condition not easy to ID. Given the fact the swastika is standing on it's corner it's a NSFK SA belt buckle. Translation would be "National Socialistic Flying Corps", what make it a rare find if in better condition, around $300 here.

Thanks for the info on the lion..I will check out the link. There really is alot of old stuff scattered all thoughout Germany.

 

[ah64dmtp]

Oh wow..checked out the site..it does look the same but mine is definitely older..would be really nice if it is from the time period you say..May have to send that one in to the Germans and let them check it out.

Yes ..real bummer about the buckle being in such crap condition..May not be worth much now but I am really happy to have it.
