Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice WWII German Wehrmacht (Heer) Aluminum EM/NCO's Belt Buckle (Koppelschloß) with an original black finished leather belt. The buckle is embossed with the Heer motto GOTT MIT UNS ("God (is) with us") around the Wehrmacht Reichsadler (State Eagle). Nice aluminum construction box buckle with a pebbled background. The buckle is in good condition, and is a two piece crimped example with an attached front insignia. The buckle is unfinished aluminum, not painted at any time, indicating that it was for parade use. It does show some surface wear, common due to the softer aluminum alloy, and there also is a small bend on one corner.
The leather belt is in very good condition, and measures about 37.5” when fully extended. It has a lovely gloss black finish on the leather, and still retains the adjustment tab with double rows of 8 holes. This has had an additional set of holes added near the attachment point, and it is attached using hidden stitches. The securing hook on the end is plated steel. Condition is very good, but the belt is definitely stiff. The gloss black finish shows age related degradation including cracks, wrinkles, and other issues, but there are no tears in the leather.
Overall condition is very good with an exception eye appeal! Ready to research and display!
