SS combat belt buckle and belt.
This and other SS items were found in Czech republic. Some in excellent condition, other in worn condition. All collected by an older man over many decades.
A sought-after early-pattern SS belt buckle struck in heavy nickel silver (Neusilber).
This style buckle was adopted for wear by EM/NCO personnel in late 1931 or early 1932. Generally the early buckles were produced in solid nickel/silver until sometime in 1936 when aluminum alloys replaced the nickel/silver versions. In 1940 the EM/NCO's belt buckles began to be manufactured in steel replacing the aluminum alloy buckles.
So we can date this buckle from around 1931-1936.
Good used condition, you can see some wear and pitting, especially on the back.
Would look great in a display.
If you want something that was actually used this is it.
