This is a typical Sturmabteilung buckle of two-piece construction with a gilding metal centre and a brass field and would originally have been worn on a brown leather belt. The Stormtroops were the fighting arm of the Nazi party when it came to disputing control of the streets with the Reds.
The centre would have had a silver wash originally, but, as on so many of these, this has vanished. There is some mild distortion at the hinge end of the swivelling prongs, which still swivel freely and have traces of old nickel silver finish, now mostly lightly rust patinated.
