Title Coastal artillery brown belt and buckle
Nationality German
Period 1942
Sold

This near mint green-painted steel buckle, with leather tag and nice brown leather belt, is marked 'Dransfeld, Menden, 1942'. The coastal artillery, among other units, were the guys who defended Normandy and sat in the pillboxes on the beachheads, taking a pounding from the Allied fleets. It is fairly rare and in particularly nice condition.

testimonials

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)

Today I received your flag. It's very nice and looks genuine to me. Beautifull crisp colors! It looks barely used. It's a nice addition to my ww2 collection. I would even say, one of my top pieces.

Thanks for your excellent service and top communication!

I will check your site more often to see if you have more nice pieces.
