A Luftwaffe Officer's Belt With Double Open Claw Buckle

Double prong open-claw buckle in silvered feinzink on the right end, unmarked, the buckle measuring 51.5 mm x 77.5 mm. The belt fabricated from a very thick leather, with a smooth finished sienna brown upper, grayish-blue felt glued in place on the underside, seven rows of two holes each for length adjustment on the left end, the belt measuring 59 mm x 1,200 mm. The buckle with the upper prong having previously broken off, the belt exhibiting very light wear and contact. Better than very fine.

Footnote: From the collection of approximately 900 German buckles accumulated by John R. Angolia, who start collecting buckles, belts and brocades from 1944 until around 1990; most of the buckles were obtained from the American and German veterans; most of these buckles present a core of Angolia’s book “Belt Buckles & Brocades of the Third Reich”, published in 2001.
