In stamped aluminum, unmarked reverse, "note the rather straight line of the eagle's wings" states Angolia, measuring 47.3 mm x 63 mm, with leather tab emboss stamped "Techn.-Kom" (Technical Control) above "Seb. Salz" and stamped with the introductory "1935", with an embossed overstamp inscribed "3.Kp.", very fine. This particular buckle is illustrated on page 131 of "Belt Buckles & Brocades of the Third Reich, Revised Edition" by John R. Angolia and came from his personal collection.
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.
