A German Butcher's Trade Belt Buckle

In stamped gilt steel, with nickel silver face plate loosely affixed by two rivets, unmarked reverse, measuring 44.8 mm x 89 mm, worn, fine.

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.
