A Weimar Republic Jungdeutscher Orden Leader's Belt with Buckle

Young German Order: Buckle in die-stamped brass on the right end, unmarked, illustrating a domed pebbled Maltese Cross in the centre, inscribed "Treu Deutsch" above and "Alle Wege" below, the inscriptions separated by clusters of oak leaves on either side, within in a rope border, the buckle measuring 50 mm, with matching receiving clip on the left end. Belt is fabricated from a thick leather with a smooth finished brown upper, raw underside, smooth finished brown leather tab stitched in place on the underside at the left end, along with being marked "100" in pencil nearby, the tab with seven rows of two holes each for length adjustment, the belt measuring 44 mm x 1,030 mm. The buckle exhibits spotting and bruising, the receiving clip with oxidation and surface rust, light contact and soiling evident on the belt from active use. Better than very fine.

Footnote: The Young German Order (Jungdeutscher Orden) was a youth element of the Stahlhelm. Members transitioned to the Stahlhelm at the age of 20. A similar buckle is illustrated on page 386 of "Belt Buckles & Brocades of the Third Reich, Revised Edition" by John R. Angolia and came from his personal collection.
