Old picture of my Grandad.

[Ton-up]

I was going through some old photo's at my Mum's the other day and came across this one of my Grandad welding. My Grandad had a typical 1950/60's country agricultural/repair/recovery/garage/fuel/ etc business. He was in transport during the war and bought a Army lorry when the war finished. The photo was taken I believe in the 60's, but I don't know who by.



I wonder if anyone into military stuff knows anything about the belt buckle he is wearing?
I always remember his belt was a large metal lap seatbelt from some 60's car, but hard to see in the scan, this one has a swastika on it!

@mrfuzzy - That's the one, thanks. Knowing my Grandad he probably 'liberated' it!!!

Perhaps someone can recognise the one I remember he wore. It was a car lap type seatbelt, the same shape as the one above, but smooth, with a button in the middle saying 'press' that he used as a belt by clipping the two parts of the seatbelt together!!
