This was a common practice among partisans who captured lots of German equipment and utilised it for themselves. Boots were paticularly sought after.

I hate to be neighsayer, but I doubt the providence of such a piece. I've seen real "partisan" reworks, usually just grinding down the center design or cutting a star into the center. I also know partisans added the cap stars, but I think this is a recent rework. German belt buckles sell pretty cheaply in the FSU - add a cheap cap star and people pay a premium for a "partisan" belt buckle.

buckles
I have to agreee with desantnik; there are far too many of these for sale. They all seem to follow a rather basic pattern. Though i think some are real, I think many are modern make -ups.

German Third Reich Belt Buckle Converted
A field-converted German WWII belt buckle, now "sovietized." I was told this was worn by partisans, but don't necessarily believe the story. It was purchased inexpensively enough and cheaper than non-such-modified German WWII belt buckles that I believe this to be originally done field modification.

Re: German Third Reich Belt Buckle Converted
Can be partisan, but can be a regular Red Army soldier as well. I have seen plenty of photographs of Soviet and Polish soldiers wearing modified german belts, altough the belts themselves are harder to obtain.
