Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very good condition WWII German Wehrmacht Kriegsmarine (Navy) EM/NCO's gilt steel belt buckle (Koppelschloß). The buckle is embossed with the Wehrmacht motto GOTT MIT UNS ("God with us") surrounding a NSDAP Party Eagle. This is enclosed in a double rope border with oak leaves at the bottom. This is essentially the same design as the Heer steel construction box buckle, however instead of being painted field gray, it is gold washed, with a smooth background.
Condition is very good, with much of the original gold finish present, and wear on the edges and contact points. Interestingly, the catch on the back is a separate bent steel bar attached to the sides of the buckle, not the front. It doesn't look like it was replaced, and there is even some gold finish on the ends. Definitely worth further research!
The inside of the belt does have a faintly stamped maker marking, but we can only make out the first two letters: "C T". This would most likely be for C. Theodor Dicke of Lüdenscheid, and there would usually be a date after it, but it is illegible.
This would be a great addition to any German WWII buckle collection. Ready to display!
