PRE WW2 GERMAN HITLER YOUTH UNIFORM BELT BUCKLE

Description

Stamped steel, one-piece construction “Hitler Jugend” (Hitler Youth) buckle with some of the original silver wash. Introduced in 1933, it features, against its plain, obverse field, an embossed HJ eagle and diamond with swastika against a slightly domed, pebble centre, encompassed by a dual rope-like border within which, against a ribbed background, is the embossed Gothic script, “Blut und Ehre” (Blood and Honor). Retains buckle catch, and a metal prong bar with dual prongs is also to the reverse. This is an early example, lacking any RZM code etc. A nice, well worn piece.
