Title Hitler Youth other ranks belt buckle
Nationality German
Period c 1940
Sold

These buckles were worn by Hitler Youth from the age of about 12 to 17 and, in the closing years of the war, some of these young men actually fought at the front. In 1945, my dad (in the American army) captured a group of these young fellows, who were armed with a Panzerfaust (a kind of anti-tank bazooka)!

This pressed steel buckle with silver-grey wash, marked 'M4/22', has its paper RZM tax tag, to show that the Party royalties tax had been paid by the manufacturer.

testimonials

the Bayonet is superb and exactly as described if not better.

Your customer service is excellent, and will recommend you to others.

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
