In brass, with plain field, face in nickel-silver, 63mm x 45mm, unmarked; Angolia writes “Religious buckle, possibly of a youth organization, bearing Christian cross and letters “E” (Evangelischen) and “C” (Christliecher); similar in construction to SA buckles of the 1930’s. (illustrated on p.577 of Angolia’s book); a rare buckle.
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.
