An Unusual German Army Zinc Belt Buckle by Assmann

A Private Purchase buckle in stamped silvered zinc, with stamped face plate affixed by 4 tabs (1 lost), maker marked A for Assmann on upper sidewall, well 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.
