Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice WWII German Wehrmacht Luftwaffe EM/NCO’s Belt Buckle (Koppelschloß). It is embossed with the wartime Luftwaffe straight tail eagle inside a laurel leaf wreath. Nice aluminum construction box buckle with a pebbled background. The buckle is in very good condition, with the pebbling in good condition, and most of the detail in the eagle present.
The buckle still retains the leather tab, which is manufacturer marked and dated, though very faint:
BERG u. NOLTE A.G.
1939
LÜDENSCHEID
Above this, it is also stamped L.B.A., for Luftwaffebekleidungsamt, which means Air Force Clothing Office. This was only seen in the Pre-WWII and early war days, and makes this buckle very desirable.
Overall a very nice example of a hard to find WWII German Belt buckle, with lots of patina. Ready to display!
