Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice WWII German Wehrmacht (Heer) Pebbled Aluminum EM/NCO’s Belt Buckle (Koppelschloß), complete with the original leather cab. The buckle is embossed with the Heer motto GOTT MIT UNS (“God (is) with us”) around the Wehrmacht Reichsadler (State Eagle). Nice aluminum construction box buckle with a pebbled background. The buckle is in good condition, and is a single piece injection molded and crimped example. It does show some surface wear, common due to the softer aluminum alloy.
This buckle was originally entirely painted standard Heer gray, and it still shows a good amount on the front, with the rear probably still having 90% present. Usually we see these almost devoid of paint, so this is really a great example!
There is no maker mark on the back, however it still retains the Pre-1941 leather tab, which has a clear maker marking inside a double oval:
E. SCHNEIDER
1937
LÜDENSCHEID
Overall condition is very good with an exception eye appeal. Ready to add to your buckle collection!
