An SS Officer's Brockade Belt with Buckle in excellent condition. The exterior of the belt features an alternating SS and oak leaf pattern, bordered with black and silver borders running the full length. The fabric is made of a fine aluminum threading which shows slight, even oxidization from exposure to a moist environment. The reverse of the belt is made of a fine green felt which shows slight wear and some foreign debris. The leather buckle adjustment tongue on the belt, which still retains the original SS RZM tag and the size stamp of "100", is slightly stiff and has some shallow cracking from this. Two keepers are present on the belt and are in excellent condition, with slight oxidization matching that of the belt. The aluminum SS Officer buckle is constructed of two pieces; the front plate, and the crimped in place keeper hooks. The buckle is near mint and features the manufacturers mark "OCL" for "Overhoff", the SS runes, 36/40, and the RZM symbol. The buckle's aluminum keeper is still sewn to the end of the belt.
