Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice Pre-WWII German Wehrmacht Luftwaffe EM/NCO’s Pebbled Aluminum Belt Buckle (Koppelschloß), embossed with an early pattern “Droop Tail” Luftwaffe Eagle inside a laurel wreath on the front. Only the earliest Luftwaffe material was marked with this eagle, which later had a tail that extended out more to the left. It is the standard single piece injection molded and crimped aluminum “box” pattern with a pebbled texture on the front. The buckle is in very good condition, with the pebbling very well retained, and much of the detail in the eagle present, which is definitely a rarity! There is no maker marking on the buckle itself, so we assume it originally had a marking on the leather tab, which is now missing.
Overall a very good example of a hard to find early pattern WWII German buckle, ready to research and display!
