A genuine Third Reich Robert Dold (RODO) buckle<\/strong><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Robert C. Dold, and other, military belt buckles<\/strong><\/p>\n

The recent article by Dr. Frank Thayer appearing in the \u2018Military Advisor\u2019 magazine on the SS enlisted personnel belt buckles by Robert Dold (RODO) has stirred up controversy among certain collectors and members of militaria forums.<\/p>\n

When the article appeared, there were public outcries from several German militaria forum participants, including leaders of the belt buckle sections and authors of material on the same subject.<\/p>\n

Their cry was that all the buckles shown in the Thayer article were fakes. They produced no evidence in support of their claim but made a great deal of outraged noise.<\/p>\n

A careful search of photographs and other material concerning the RODO buckles has very clearly shown that the buckles shown in the article are completely genuine to the period.
\nWhy, then has such a vicious attack been made on Dr. Thayer and his buckles?<\/p>\n

The German militaria collecting world, like the world of fine art, is controlled by a few individuals and their allies. The forums are merely sounding boards for merchandisers as well as ego-builders for those with personality deficiencies.<\/p>\n

In this case, typical of its kind, there is a created demand for RODO buckles and to augment a small supply of genuine ones, dealers and their cooperative \u201cexperts\u201d have filled the need.<\/p>\n

They do this by purchasing modern replica buckles, antiquing them by putting them in a rotating clothes dryer until they become chipped and worn, and then painting them with \u2018Rustall,\u2019 a product used in model railroading. This puts what appears to be a rust coating on the buckle. But this finish can be removed by using a swab and solvent.<\/p>\n

Acetone is the most effective testing medium.<\/p>\n

Genuine rust will not come off but the applied \u2018Rustall\u2019 will.<\/p>\n

And as all the generic fakes have the belt catch hook the same on all their pieces, the fakers now claim that these recent fakes are the genuine RODO buckle and the genuine ones with the easily-identifiable twisted leg on the catch hook are fakes.<\/p>\n

And because genuinely informative articles or postings bring the recent fakes into question, these are at once attacked, in self-defense, by the dealers in fakes and their co-conspirators.<\/p>\n

That is why the Thayer article has been attacked.<\/p>\n

Here, from German wartime records, available to the public from the Bundesarchiv in Coblenz, Germany, is a complete listing of the German RZM, and other, producers of military belt buckles.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that there are offered for sale, purported RODO buckles with RZM logos stamped into them. Since Robert C. Dold, the manufacturer of RODO buckles, was not under contract with the RZM, such a buckle is obviously a fake.<\/p>\n

RZM-M4\u00a0 Belt Buckles<\/strong>
\nSince the first RZM production licenses were issued on March 9, 1935, no buckles released prior to that time would bear the RZM M4\/ code. This would account for the number of SA, German Youth and Hitler Youth buckles without RZM marks.<\/p>\n
