Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice WWII German Heer Army Officer's Bullion Dress Brocade Belt, with attached aluminum buckle. These belts were worn with the dress uniform for ceremonial occasions, and were standard issue to all officers with their dress uniform.

The belt buckle is of die struck/stamped, aluminum alloy based construction that has been silver washed. It depicts the Wehrmacht Heer Eagle on a pebbled background that is surrounded by an oak leaf wreath that is tied together at the bottom. The buckle is attached by a double square ring to a long quality woven bright silver/aluminum construction brocade belt. The belt pattern has two horizontal green lines, and the two sliding vertical loops have the same pattern.

The reverse is lined in a Heer Field Gray wool fabric continuous with the front, and it feels like the belt has an internal leather or pressed paper body, which has become quite stiff over the years. There is a long extension past the square loop on the end that goes behind the buckle when fastened, and the length is adjusted using eyelets on the belt body and a hook on the end of the belt on the buckle end. The belt itself measures about 39 1/2” from the buckle clip to the loop on the other end when fully extended, and does not have any maker markings on the buckle or belt that we can see.

The buckle is in very good shape, showing light wear and some oxidation on the silver wash. The opposing clasp is in a bit better condition, with just a bit of wear. The belt and sliders are in very good condition, with the bullion obverse in good shape, though there is wear at the edges. The field gray wool fabric does show mothing on the edges of the belt, which is definitely common.

Overall a very nice example of a hard to find WWII German Dress Belt, complete and ready to display!
