Original German WWII Heer Steel Belt Buckle With Leather Tab By Noelle und Hueck Dated 1942-Presenting an authentic German WWII Heer steel belt buckle accompanied by a leather tab crafted by Noelle und Hueck, dated 1942. This buckle is a remarkable piece that has retained 30% of the original factory fieldgray paint on the front and an impressive 75% on the back. Some minor surface rust areas are visible on the back and sides, adding character and authenticity to this wartime artifact.
The leather tab, marked Noelle und Hueck of Lüdenscheid and dated 1942, though challenging to read due to age, remains undamaged. However, some of the cotton threads have naturally deteriorated over time. Despite this, the leather tab adds significant value to the buckle, bearing the marks of a desirable maker.
The buckle itself is clearly marked with "N&H 1941," providing a distinct identifier for collectors. In good condition overall, this piece offers a tangible connection to history and a glimpse into the craftsmanship of Noelle und Hueck during the pivotal year of 1942.
This Heer steel belt buckle is a sought-after collector's item, encapsulating the essence of the era with its wartime markings and genuine wear. A valuable addition to any collection, it serves as a tangible reminder of the individuals who wore such items during the tumultuous period of World War II.
