Original German WWII Heer/Waffen SS Officer’s Leather Belt With Claw Buckle RB Numbered Size 95 (Damaged)
An original WWII German Heer/Waffen SS Officer’s leather belt, complete with claw-style buckle, RB number marking, and size stamp “95”. Officer belts of this type were privately purchased and worn with a variety of uniforms, making them desirable pieces for collectors and displays.
The belt is constructed of blackened leather, showing clear period wear and age throughout. The exterior retains a dark finish with visible creasing, surface wear, and handling marks, while the interior displays expected wear from use. The belt remains supple and displays a well-used, authentic appearance.
The leather is RB numbered on the interior, indicating wartime production under the Reichsbetriebsnummer system. The size marking “95” is also present.
The belt includes its original leather keeper, which remains intact and matches the belt well.
The claw buckle is present; however, one of the two claws is broken/missing, but still functions. The buckle itself shows typical wear and finish loss but remains attached to the belt.
Notably, the belt shows evidence of period factory produced or a field repair, with sections of leather stitched together; likely utilizing available material or repair the belt.
Overall, this is an honest, original example of a German WWII officer’s belt with RB marking and size stamp. While damaged, it remains a solid display piece or filler example for a collection, particularly for those seeking a budget-friendly original with clear wartime characteristics. In very good condition.
