Here we have a beautiful example of a 2nd pattern SA (Sturmabteilung) Belt Buckle by Linden & Funke. It is constructed out of a two pieces of die struck brass that has been gold gilded/silver washed. The obverse roundel depicts an open winged SA eagle griping a wreathed mobile swastika in its talons on a smooth round background. The eagle is above a half oak leaf and acorn wreath that is tied together at the bottom and is all in front of a decorative line type pattern which is encircled by two twisted ropes. The silvered roundel lies on a smooth gilded rectangular background. The reverse is clearly maker marked "LF" (Linden & Funke G.m.b.H., Iserlohn). It also shows two solder marks (that hold the roundel in place) a brass integral catch and brass prongs. It measures approximately 2 1/2inch wide by 1 7/8 inches high. The buckle continues to retain beautiful gold gilt, silver wash and impeccable detail! A wonderful example!
