Of two-piece construction, the frame and panther are in zinc or pot metal. This is only the second example I have ever had, perhaps one of the rarest of Nazi era bukles. The claws are aluminium, the roller is of mild steel. This buckle was worn by the Home Guard unit of Steiermark in the closing year of WW2.
The condition is good for its age, with some corrosion to the face and evidence of old repair work to the catch on the back.
If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.
