SS ALU BELT BUCKLE

SOLD!

Scarce SS aluminium belt buckle made by Overhoff.

The obverse of the buckle features a smooth outer field with a high relief, embossed central motif consisting of an SS style national eagle with out-stretched wings, clutching a wreath encompassing a static swastika. The swastika and wreath are in turn encompassed by a circular simulated twisted rope border with Gothic script motto, "Meine Ehre heißt Treue!", (My Honour is Loyalty!). The script is situated on a subtly textured background field and is encircled by the inner and an outer simulated twisted rope borders. The reverse of the buckle is a mirror image of the obverse and has the brazed buckle catch, prong bar and prongs all intact.

The aluminum buckle is marked RZM 36/40 ᛋᛋ indicating production by Overhoff in 1940. These buckles in aluminum where only produced for one or two months when the order came to halt the production in aluminum and switch to steel early in 1940.

The buckle has a hit in the eagle body and a crack near the rivet of the prong bar.

Silver finish is still partially visible.

Scarce and hard to find buckle, a real being there piece.
