2GU-11. Solid brass buckle, made in the design of the Prussian field buckle, with, separately applied, stamped silver plated, inset bearing a WW1 style German helmet within a half oak leaf wreath bearing the words, “Front Heil,” embossed above the helmet, very roughly translated “Front Heil” means “Hail to the Soldiers of the Front.” The Stahlhelm Bund der Frontsoldaten, (Steel Helmet League of Frontline Soldiers), was the largest, of the many paramilitary Friekorps Organizations that appeared in the Weimar Republic after the defeat of Imperial Germany in World War 1. The front of this example exhibits a dull brass finish, which doesn’t appear to have been polished or cleaned; there are light scratches, fingerprints and tiny spots of tarnish on the front, as well as one moderate tarnished spot at 2-o-clock. The silver inset is lightly worn, scratched and soiled; it retains nearly 100% of its original matte silver plated finish. The backside is heavily tarnished, lightly worn and lightly scratched from the belt hook during use. Avery nice example. These buckles are not normally maker marked. Vg. $150.00 SOLD |

| Army Enlisted Man Leather Belt & Stamped Steel Buckle With Leather Tab Marked, Overhoff & Co, Ludenscheid, 1940 | |
 |
2GU-14s. Stamped steel buckle with a very dark green, re-painted finish, depicting a German Army style eagle and swastika with “Gott Mit Uns,” motto, and wreath. The front of the buckle retains approximately 50%, of its very dark green paint, the buckle appears to have been re-painted several times creating thick painted finish, which is heavily aged, chipped and worn to base metal in some areas. The highlights and raised surfaces of the design and lettering are moderate to heavily worn and have a reddish rust patina; the eagle’s eye, beak and chest feathers are still fairly discernable. Approximately 75%, or more, of the original matte green paint remains on the backside of the buckle, which exhibits moderate signs of age and use, as well as a few minor spots of surface rust. The backside of the buckle is unmarked. The brown leather tab that is attached to the buckle, is moderately aged and lightly worn, it has not been oiled or preserved, while it has darkened slightly, in spots, from age, it retrains much of its original light brown color, as well as its original stitching; the tab is deeply stamped with the makers name and city, “Overhoff & Co, Ludenscheid,” and the date, “1940,” is unusually large and deeply struck; although Overhoff & Co, manufactured a raft of buckles, this particular trademark does not often show up on buckle tabs. The belt is constructed from thick black leather, which exhibits light to moderate overall signs of age and wear; the leather is sound and supple; not dried, cracked or otherwise damaged and is completely serviceable; the belt was stored in a folded position and retains two folds, (not stiff), which will surely flatten if worn or weighted down. One end of the belt has a stitched loop, which secures a heavy steel, combat style, buckle hook, which is aged, worn and retains about 50% of its original gray/green paint; the end of the stitched loop is stamped with partial unit markings, “8/42,” is all that is legible. The brown backside exhibits light to moderate overall signs of age and use and there is one large blackened area, (not damaged), where a piece of equipment was hung or it was continually handled in that area by the original owner. The leather adjusting tab is present and exhibits light signs of age and use, the tab is very sound and supple; not dried, cracked or otherwise damaged and is completely serviceable. The area beneath the adjusting tab is hand inked with the original owners name, which appears to be, “Fritz Schell,” and the tip of the belt is deeply stamped, “102,” which is the size in centimeters. The belt is approximately 39-1/2-inches long x 1-3/4-inches wide and would nicely fit a 36-37-inch waist. The front of the buckle would rate about Good; the leather tab is Vg, or slightly better, as is the belt. A decent used set with unique markings. $150.00 SOLD |
