In stamped plated steel, with silvered steel insignia affixed by two soldered prongs, unmarked reverse, measuring 47.5 mm x 61.5 mm, worn and missing prong, near very 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.
