A HJ Member’s Belt Buckle

An HJ Member’s belt buckle; in stamped steel with bright anodized finish; eagle with down-turned wings perched atop a HJ diamond, surrounded by a circular border inscribed with the HJ motto “Blut und Ehre” (Blood and Honour); unmarked; measuring 63 mm x 47 mm; scratches and wear marks but otherwise better than very fine condition.

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.
