Belt Buckles - Cont'd

NSFK Enlisted

B-044.  Enlisted National Socialistic Flying Corps (NSFK).  Similar to that worn by the SA, but with a pebbled field. Used c. 1929-32 when the organization was aborbed into the DLV.  On the reverse is the trade mark 'NR' for the Nichols & Raimund firm.  Killer buckle and fairly rare.  $245.

NSBO, Type I

B-026.  This is a Type I of the National Socialistic Industrial Organization (NSBO).    Pictured in Angolia's book on page 107.  This buckle was from roughly the period 1933-38 and is unmarked.  It was issued with silver wash inset and some still remains. 

In 1927, some NSDAP workers in large factories, located mostly in the Berlin area, joined together as an alternative to social democratic and Christian labor unions. The NSBO was established in 1928 by these groups.  $225.

NSBO, Type II

B-024.  Type II, c. 1938-45.  Brass buckle with a black painted inset.  Not usually marked, maker unknown.

In 1927, some NSDAP workers in large factories, located mostly in the Berlin area, joined together as an alternative to social democratic and Christian labor unions. The NSBO was established in 1928 by these groups.  $245.

State Forestry Officials Buckle

B-108.  This State Forestry Officials Buckle is a great example of an uncommon buckle to find. This buckle has a very appealing design, with a political style German national eagle and swastika emblem on a pebbled oval field, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This buckle is made of aluminum, and probably dates to the 1930s. There never was any paint- these were issued bare. The front of this buckle has a pleasant, slight age patina, and shows virtually no wear, with all of the crisp detail still intact. The reverse of this buckle is complete, with an integral hook for the catch on the belt, and an aluminum loop that would be use to affix this to an officer style belt.  $295.
