Red Army Belt Buckles Made From German Buckles

Soviet,

The two metals should have reacted more than that between them. I personally doubt that it is genuine.

An other one for sale on eBay. Does it looks odd to you? :)

That's a partisan buckle, 1st class. You can tell from the gold star, and the fact it is attached with Russian chewing gum. Lesser partisans were forced to wear green stars attached by rivets. Equality indeed. :D

[Soviet]

I wonder how it was stuck there?

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.

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.
