Army Buckle by Aurich

German WWII > Belt Buckles > Army >

A worn Army Koppelschloß by H. Aurich of Dresden with tab. It is constructed of a single piece of die struck steel that has been green painted. The obverse roundel depicts a closed winged Heer eagle griping a mobile swastika in its talons on a smooth round background. The evil Aurich eagle is above a half oak leaf and acorn wreath that is tied together at the bottom and is underneath the Heer motto reading: "Gott Mit Uns" (God with us). The wreath and motto are both in front of a decorative lined type pattern which is encircled by two twisted ropes. The roundel lies on a smooth rectangular backing. The steel prongs and catch remain intact. It shows wear & oxidization throughout. 95% paint is worn from the obverse. Boy if this one could talk! It measures approximately 2 1/2 inch wide by 1 7/8 inches high.
