An Unusual American Made German-American Bund Buckle; Published Example

Buckle in nickel plated brass, 65mm x 37mm, stamped on reverse “Made in U.S.A.”, probably 1930’s; possibly buckle of German-American Bund/Organization. (illustrated on p.579 of Angolia’s book); a rare buckle.

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.
