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 on the back. The backside, mirroring the front, bears witness to wear marks from the combat belt, which have gently worn away some paint. Despite its battle-worn appearance, the details of this buckle remain crisp.
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.
