Unissued first pattern Steel Waffen-SS belt buckle marked RZM 155/40 ᛋᛋ with factory tag

Textbook Unissued first pattern Steel Waffen-SS belt buckle marked RZM 155/40 ᛋᛋ with factory tag. The buckle is marked 155/40 near the catch indicating production by Assmann & Sohne. The position of the marking is the first known type combined with the nickel plated prongs indicating a very early production run. The buckle retains its original paper rzm tag which is a very difficult to acquire feature. The buckle retains most of its factory finish and would be very hard to upgrade. Textbook buckle in excellent condition; complete with original factory tag!
