Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very good condition Pre-WWII German Reichswehr Heer (Army) EM/NCO’s Pebbled Nickel Silver Belt Buckle (Koppelschloß) and belt. The buckle is embossed with the Heer motto GOTT MIT UNS (“God [is] with us”) surrounding a Weimar German Eagle. The design is basically the same as the previous Prussian Buckle, but the Crown is replaced with the Eagle. It is constructed of Solid Nickel Silver, with a pebbled body and soldered on front insignia. This design was in service from approximately 1921 to 1936, when the central Weimar eagle was replaced with the NDSAP Reichsadler. The design was used by both the Reichsheer (Army) and Reichsmarine (Navy).
The buckle is in very good condition, with just some light wear and the expected oxidation from age and has a small blackened spot to the right of the crest. The clasp pins and axis pins are made from plated steel, and these have rusted a bit, which has stained part of the Nickel Silver.
The belt is in good condition but unfortunately displays heavy cracking due to age and wear. The length of the belt is 40 inches (101.6 cm) with a width of 1 ⅞ inches (4.8 cm). The stamping on the belt reads: HABRA over top of SOLINGEN.
This would be a great addition to any German belt and buckle collection. Ready to display!
