Waffen-SS Officers Silver Belt Buckle
Waffen-SS Officers Silver Belt Buckle
Quality reproduction Waffen-SS Officers Silver belt buckle
To begin with, the SS were just a wing of the SA and wore the standard SA style buckle,In time when the SS became a distinguished unit they adopted their own SS buckle, sometime around 1931-1932 with the Officers buckles being put into production slightly after.
From 1934 until 1943 the SS uniform and kit was under supervision of the RZM for the procurement and distribution of all the SS kit, after 1943 the SS took control of their own production so you'll see late war kit that wouldn't be stamped with the RZM mark.
The buckle is made from die struck aluminium with a silver finish and features the SS Eagle with downwards swept wings, clutching a large wreath and ever present Swastika and text "Meine Ehre Heißt Treue" (My Honour Is Loyalty) To the rear are two hooks for the belt keeper and prongs for attaching to the belt and RZM and makers mark.
Please note: This buckle is designed to be worn with a Waffen-SS Officers belt, and it may not fit other belt styles.
Product Questions

May I ask how this attaches to the SS officers' belt? I seem to be too stupid to figure it out myself. I've ended up with the pointy bits pointing inwards, towards the buckle (and stabbing myself in the thumb in the process) where they go forwards through the rear (polished) side of the perforated part of the loose end of the officer's belt. It seems to work but it took quite a lot of effort so I'm not sure I've done it correctly!Submited by: Christine 02 Mar 2023

Hello Christine! It sounds like you have got it correct from what you have explained. However, I would recommend that you check out some tutorials on YouTube as it's much easier to see someone do it, rather than explain!Answered by Admin on 03 Mar 2023
