Original German WWII Heer Steel Belt Buckle With Leather Tab Dated 1940

Original German WWII Heer Steel Belt Buckle With Leather Tab Dated 1940By 1940, most buckles were made of steel (painted field-grey or sometimes blued), replacing earlier aluminum versions. This example shows honest wear and age patina with surface rust and paint loss. There are no maker marks or date. The attached leather tab is complete, pilable, but shows age and wear and is clearly maker marked H. Arld Nuernberg and dated 1940.A solid, well-matched set, ideal for any collector of WWII German field gear.
