Original Waffen SS EM/NCO's Belt Buckle Unmarked Overhoff & Cie–
Presented is an original Waffen-SS EM/NCO's Belt Buckle, emblematic of war-time production by the esteemed manufacturer Overhoff & Cie, a prominent supplier of SS belt buckles throughout the Third Reich era. This unmarked buckle, representative of typical war-time craftsmanship, features a smooth outer field housing a central motif of remarkable detail: an SS-style national eagle, its wings elegantly outstretched, grasping a laurel wreath enveloping a static swastika. Encircled by a circular twisted rope border adorned with the Gothic script motto, "Meine Ehre heißt Treue!" (My Honor is Loyalty!), this emblem exudes historical significance.
While approximately 0% of the original silver paint remains on the exterior, lending it a bear metal appearance evocative of its combat history, an impressive 75% of the original paint adorns the back, offering a glimpse into its past. The backside, mirroring the front, bears witness to wear marks from the combat belt, which have gently worn away some paint, further enhancing its authenticity. Despite its battle-worn appearance, the details of this buckle remain crisp, accentuating its authenticity and historical resonance.
In very good condition, this Waffen SS belt buckle stands as a tangible relic of a pivotal era in history, capturing the essence of craftsmanship and valor amidst the tumult of war.
