Title Allgemeine SS other ranks waist buckle
Nationality German
Period c 1929-35
Sold

This is essentially an unmarked Overhoff & Co buckle which has had some restoration, to whit the brass belt prongs and a new brass goal post. The goal post replaces some horrible lead solder device which has now been largely cleaned off, probably taking any maker's marks with it! However, the price reflects all this.

There is another perfect Overhoff buckle on the site if you want to make a comparison. Like the other one, it is made of solid nickel silver. In fact, it may be rather earlier than the other, inasmuch as the relief is somewhat sharper, perhaps made from a slightly different die.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

Just a quick note to let you know that my bayonet arrived safely today. Many thanks for the speedy delivery and overall excellent service! For its age this bayonet is in fantastic condition.

I will mark your website as a 'favourite'...

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
