Hitler Jugend Belt Buckle

Slightly convex, stamped, steel, one-piece construction "Hitler Jugend" (Hitler Youth) buckle with silver wash. Introduced in 1933, it features, against its plain, obverse field, an embossed HJ eagle and diamond with swastika against a slightly domed, pebble center, encompassed by a dual rope-like border within which, against a ribbed background, is the embossed Gothic script, "Blut und Ehre" (Blood and Honor). A brazed brass buckle catch, and a metal prong bar with dual prongs is also to the reverse. The reverse of the buckle is well marked RZM M5/276 (Klein & Quenzer AG., Oberstein a. d. Nahe).
