A Kriegsmarine Line Officer’s “Undress” Belt Buckle

Also called “dagger belt” buckle - of same design as standard buckle but of smaller size, 39mm, in fire gilded tombac, in near mint condition. An excellent example.

Footnote: From the collection of approximately 900 German buckles accumulated by John R. Angolia, who start collecting buckles, belts and brocades from 1944 until around 1990; most of the buckles were obtained from the American and German veterans; most of these buckles present a core of Angolia’s book “Belt Buckles & Brocades of the Third Reich”, published in 2001.
