Description
Classic early Heer (Army) aluminum belt buckle in worn condition. As most examples not much of the green coating remains intact on the high points, though the buckle has very sharp detail. Complete with maker marked leather tab by uncommon manufacture Schmöle & Co., Menden with the manufacturing year of 1936 as well. The round wire catch and indicates this is one of the earliest of Army buckles produced as they started injection molding the catch into the design shortly after in 1936. Great early buckle with rare reverse hardware setup!
