Title Algemeine SS enlisted man's buckle
Nationality German
Period c 1930-36
Sold

This is the classic Overhoff & Co buckle for the black uniformed pre-war Algemeine SS. It is marked on the reverse 'O&C GES.GESCH', which is the second type of naming for this firm. In 1936, a polished aluminium buckle was introduced, ending the production of these old nickel silver ones, which were, however, worn throughout the war.

The condition is pretty good for its age; note above all the yellow brazing to the base of the goal post, which is a sure sign of its authenticity when compared especially to the Budapest copies, which have silver-soldered goal posts, amongst other give-away signs.

Wanted to let you know the items arrived today. Great job on the packing. Too often I buy very expensive and irreplaceable items from the UK and they get sent barely packed to protect them from the various postal services - appreciate you going the extra mile to insure it arrived in the shape it left. Thanks again, look forward to doing business with you in the future. Items were very nice, exactly as offered.
