This is an early version Waffen-SS EM/NCO belt buckle in top condition. It is crafted in matte nickel-silver and measures 63 mm x 47 mm. The buckle features a matte obverse finnish with the reverse exhibiting a polished finish. The buckle is marked “O & C” (Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid) as well as “Ges.

Near mint condition with a few scratches on the top and bottom surfaces - possibly from very limited wear, but with the obverse of the buckle being exceptionally well preserved.
