Luftwaffe Belt & Buckle 1941
Luftwaffe EM/NCO's Belt & Buckle (Koppel und Koppelschloß). Originally the EM/NCO’s buckles were produced with a silver finish until a blue/grey version was introduced around mid-1940, and a tropical olive drab version was introduced in late 1940. This is a nice blue-grey painted steel example, the buckle is complete with its original leather tab. The tab is nicely maker marked by the company of 'J.C. Maedicke' from Berlin and dated 1941. The buckle is complete with its original leather belt as found together. The belt is 100cms long and showing some traces of usage. The belt is having a nice luftwaffe blue-grey painted steel buckle-keeper. The belt is nicely maker marked and dated 1942. The leather tongue has been period replaced, see photos. The set is in used and worn condition. Great original set as found together!
