In Thomas Reid & John Nauer's 1979 book "German Belt Buckles 1919-1945" they are referred to as for pre-1936 Reichsheer Landwehr (Reserve Army) units, whilst John Angolia includes them in his 1982 book "Belt Buckles & Brocades of the Third Reich" but states that there is also a distinct possibility that they are post-war Polizei / Feuerwehr.

Note : In 1859, as a result of the perceived threat to the United Kingdom from the growing conscript armies on the Continent especially that of France and, given further impetus driven by a public outcry for improvements in the country’s defence, a new Rifle Volunteer Movement, based on that of the Napoleonic Wars, was rapidly formed to great popular acclaim. In the same year this led to the formation of the National Rifle Association (NRA) designed to encourage rifle shooting by the introduction of a great annual National Rifle Meeting open to both Volunteers and all-comers. There marksmen could compete for valuable prizes. To achieve this it was necessary to ensure that the ranges, initially on Wimbledon Common and later at Bisley, were readily accessible by train. As a result a special relationship developed between the Association and the London & North Eastern Railway in fulfilling these aims.
