'Reichsarbeitsdienst' Officer's Brocade Belt & Buckle (RAD Paradefeldbinde für Offiziere). On 15 February 1936 this new pattern Officer's dress type belt and buckle were officially introduced to replace the previously worn variety of FAD/NSAD belt buckles. The brocade belt and the new style belt buckle were for wear by Officers when in parade, or formal dress and service dress when full decoration were ordered. This is a nice aluminum buckle which is nicely maker marked with the well known 'A' indicating production by the company of 'Assmann & Söhne' in Lüdenscheid, the buckle is 1937 dated. The belt and buckle are in good used condition. There are only some small moth damages to the belt, see photos. This is a beautiful piece!
