German WWII Army Combat Buckle-This buckle shows moderate wear, let’s just say that someone wore this buckle forever. You can tell by the wear to the eagle, wreath and motto that this buckle spent a lot of time in action. The pebbled field details are still strong. There is some slight finish remaining in the lowest details of the pebbling, giving this an interesting look. This aluminum buckle has lost quite a few details to the feathers of the eagle, and the top of the motto and wreath. The high points are buffed smooth. There is some finish remaining in the lowest details of the central motif, but not much is left. More of the combat green original finish is in place on the reverse of the buckle. The reverse of the buckle is also marked for Dr. Franke just under the integral catch. The aluminum rollbar and prongs work as they should. This is a classic wartime example of a buckle that looks like it spent the whole of the war attached to a German soldier. It’s in good shape, just shows wear.
