German WWII RAD Officer Brocade Belt and Buckle-This is a choice example. The brocade is shiny silver with brown stripes. The brown canvas like cloth on the back side is super clean and damage free. It shows just the slightest moth tracking, but this is hardly noticeable. The aluminum multi piece buckle is in very good condition and finished in a subdued silver. This is a beautiful little multi piece aluminum buckle. The front of this buckle depicts the shovel and swastika organizational emblem of the Reichsarbeitsdienst, on a stippled background, surrounded by a wreath made of ears of wheat. The buckle is struck from aluminum. It shows only the slightest wear and the silver has toned some on the inner ring. The front shows great detail, even the pebbling on the swastika remains. The reverse of this buckle is complete with its keeper in place. It is very well marked, with the stylized “A” logo of the firm of F. W. Assmann in Lüdenscheid. You can see the date “37,” and “D.R.G.M.” indicating a trademarked design. The fixed catch is the same matte silver finish. There is some discoloration on the reverse, but this is minimal. The length including the fixed buckle is approx. 44 inches (111.76cm) so it will fit up to a size 40 waist. It includes the keeper and one brocade slide. Excellent overall!
