1940 pattern, dark, field-grey painted, stamped steel construction, combat box buckle features a smooth outer field with a high relief, embossed Wehrmacht eagle with down swept wings clutching a canted swastika in its talons, to the slightly domed center, encompassed by an oak-leaf cluster to the bottom and script, "Gott Mit Uns", (God With Us), to the top. The oak-leaf cluster and script are on a ribbed background and are encircled by both an inner and outer simulated twisted rope border. The reverse of the buckle is a mirror image of the obverse and the brazed buckle catch, prong bar and prongs are all intact.

LATE WAR M44 SHOULDERBOARDS (SIGNAL)
This is mint/unissued set of WH (Heer) so-called 'M44 style' shoulderboards for a 'Signal' soldier. The boards - which have been constructed of typical 'Italian'-style late-war wool - have the light yellow 'silk-lined' piping and are text-book . These are stone-mint and have not been issued. A nice set!
