Belts and buckles

Leather equipment belt with Heer buckle marked H. Aurich, Dresden 1942. The belt is marked G. Singer, Klattau 1942 measuring 95 CM.

Very nice and rare late war equipment belt manufactured out of brown coloured Pressstoff or Ersatzmaterial. The Leather tongue is riveted to the Pressstoof belt. The closing hook has been periodically repaired. Very nice and interesting example!

Textbook tabbed aluminium Heer belt buckle in good condition. This example is not marked on the belt buckle itself and the marking on the leather tab is completely faded. Nice original worn example.

Equipment belt with open hook in unissued condition. The belt could be cleaned with a moist cloth; otherwise a nice unissued example in a good large size 105!

A nice prewar Reichswehr buckle in very good condition. These buckles where issued until 1936 and where in some cases still in use during the war. A uncommon buckle made from Alpacca!

Interesting Reichswehr period leather equipment belt in good condition. The belt features a nice brass catch which is typical for really early belts. The belt is in good and supple condition without any damages or repairs. The belt is nicely marked but this is sadly not clearly readable. Perfect example to complete a very early display/mannequin!

Rare Waffen-SS EM/NCO belt buckle marked ᛋᛋ 63 RZM. Rare original example in used condition.

These buckles wear the markings of Steinhauer & Luck but they are actually made by M. Winter. These buckles were previously marked 57 RZM, professionally ground and re marked SS 63 RZM. This was done because M. Winter lost his RZM contract and thus had to sell his inventory. This inventory was bought up by Steinhauer & Lück, reworked, marked and sold under the RZM. The buckles are easily compared to the 57 marked examples and when looking closely one can observe its former markings.

Kriegsmarine officer miniature belt buckle in good, unissued condition.

Textbook original Waffen-SS belt buckle marked O&C ges. gesch. indicating production by Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid. 

Textbook leather equipment belt in very good condition. The belt is nicely marked Lohmann Werke A.G. 1942. The belt features a typical stitching of the tongue which is rare to encounter.  The belt is marked “90” on the end which indicates the length of the belt; 90 centimeters. Textbook example!

Rare Belgian made belt buckle for the Service des Volontaires du Travail pour la Wallonie which was the Walloon equivalent of the Arbeitsdienst. The buckle is a excellent example in stone mint condition. Impossible to upgrade!

Excellent Waffen-SS belt buckle in very good condition! This buckle is made out of nickel (Alpacca) which naturally has the shiny silver colour. This example is referred to as the “Fat Eagle” variant which is unmarked but believed to be produced by Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid.

For a further understanding in the different examples in belt buckles I have written an article about the subject with 65 different variants to be seen here; https://fjm44.com/articles/a-guide-to-collecting-waffen-ss-belt-buckles/

Textbook steel Heer belt buckle in good used condition.

Rare original Flemish made steel Hitlerjugend belt buckle in unissued condition. The buckle is a typical, Flemish made example with the tell tale silver paint with soldered catch and a typical non-RZM quality overall. There is discussion about the manufacturer of these buckles but the design and finish of these buckles is typical for the Flemish production for me. These buckles where recently found in the former Hitlerjugend recruitment office in Brugge, Belgium. Of 26 buckles found I have the opportunity to offer you several examples. There will not be a restock of these buckles as the source is empty.
