These web belts were worn throughout the North African and Mediterranean campaigns by all branches of the Wehrmacht in a variety of colours from apple green, light olive to a blue/purple shade for Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine units. This example is a faded light olive.
The steel buckle is stamped 'CTD 1941' for Christian T Dicke & Co, a prolific maker of army and navy buckles of this era.
It has perhaps 40% of the original light olive paint finish to the face. The belt is a decent length - 105 cm, and though much faded is in good shape apart from the loss of 30% of the leather trim.
