I found this on Ebay.com. This was an item that a person received from the WWII VET!...Ultra
Rare! V-2 Rocket Personnel Belt Buckle: The detail is remarkable on this hand crafted item. The
story on the buckle is that it started it's life as a 1938 Police buckle (stampped so with makers
name and date stamped on both sides of leather tab). The center circle was worked down smooth
and has a replica of the V-2 rocket attached. Aluminum is worn from use and has a good patina
on both sides. One theory about the buckle is that there were not enough personnel working with
the V-2's to "strike" their own buckle, so they used existing modified Police buckles.
