Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice WWII German Wehrmacht Luftwaffe EM/NCO’s Belt Buckle (Koppelschloß) with correct leather belt, and original WW2 manufacture triple pouches for the German k98k rifle. The Buckel is embossed with a wartime Luftwaffe straight tail eagle on a pebbled central field, surrounded by a wreath. The buckle is of early war pattern, die stamped, aluminum construction. The buckle is maker stamped J.D.
The belt itself measures 40” when fully extended, and is dated 1940. The leather is soft and pliable. The black finish on the outside of the belt is mostly present, however it is also cracked/checked due to age.
The two black pebble-grain leather pouches included are in good used condition, and do not have any major stitching or leather issues. The finish is somewhat worn, and they definitely show age, but they are in solid condition. The internal separators are still present, and all of the rivets and snaps are sound. There is some rust to the fittings on the back, due to age. One is maker marked and dated 1940 on the back.
The other pouch is marked with a Reichsbetriebsnummer number code, but due to the pebble grain, we are not able to make out the code. It looks to be marked RB Nr. 0/0/65/0018, but we cannot be sure.
The P38 holster is constructed of black leather and offered in good solid condition. There are no legible maker markings or dates.
This is a great chance to get an original WW2 complete Luftwaffe belt set, marked and dated in great shape for the age.
