Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice WWII German Luftwaffe Officer's Bullion Dress Brocade Belt, with attached aluminum buckle. These belts were worn with the dress uniform for ceremonial occasions, and were standard issue to all officers with their dress uniform.

The belt is a die struck/stamped, nickel-silver based construction that has been silver washed and gold gilded. It depicts an early droop trail pinned eagle on a pebbled background that is surrounded by an oak leaf wreath that is tied together at the bottom. The buckle is attached by two square rings to a long quality woven bright silver/aluminum construction brocade belt. The belt pattern has two vertical grey lines with a central small red line. The belt has two sliding vertical loops, which have the same pattern. One of these loops has an extended backing, intended to go behind the length adjustment leather tab.

The reverse is lined in a grey/blue fabric, and has a leather length adjustment tab, as seen on standard leather belts. There is an aluminum claw clasp that attaches to this and hooks together with the buckle. 

The belt itself measures about 38” when fully extended, and does not have any maker markings. These usually would have had an RZM label or other type of paper label on the back, which were removed when put into service. The buckle is in fantastic shape, with minimal wear, and clear frosting. The clasp on the other side has been deformed a bit, as it is aluminum and easily bent. The bullion threading on the belt is nice, though there are areas of wear. Both sliders are present, and look great.

Overall a great example of a hard to find WWII German Dress Belt, ready to display!
