SA Belt and Buckle

German WWII > Belt Buckles > SA / NSKK >

Here we have a 2nd pattern SA (Sturmabteilung) Belt and Buckle that was introduced in 1935. It is constructed out of a die struck brass base that has been gold gilded and burnished. The obverse roundel depicts an open winged SA eagle griping a wreathed mobile swastika in its talons on top of 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 roundel lies on a smooth rectangular background. The reverse shows a soldered on catch and a plated steel pin/post sleeve and prongs. The buckle measures approximately 2 ½ inch wide by 1 7/8 inches high. Attached to the buckle is the appropriate brown leather belt. The 37 ½ inch long belt features a pined on steel plated hook and a stitched on 14 hole adjustment tongue. The exterior features two horizontal decorative border lines. The leather is crazed. Yet retains 85% of its exterior finish. A nice assembly!
