WW2 GERMAN ARMY HEER BELT BUCKLE BY RICHARD SIEPER & SOHNE

1940 pattern, stamped steel construction, combat box buckle features a smooth outer field with a high relief, embossed Wehrmacht eagle with down swept wings to the slightly domed centre, encompassed by an oak-leaf cluster to the bottom and script, "Gott Mit Uns", (God With Us), to the top. The oak-leaf cluster and script are on a ribbed background and are encircled by both an inner and outer simulated twisted rope border. The reverse of the buckle is a mirror image of the obverse. The reverse has the brazed buckle catch, prong bar and prongs all intact, retaining all field-grey paint work with maker stamp RS & S (Richard Sieper and Söhne).
