The officer buckle is original as well. Regarding the belt, only the owner could (maybe) say. If the remaining wool backing is black and original to the belt, it was probably a SS dress belt. But since the leather tonge is missing (where RZM / SS marking is usually stamped) you will never know for sure. But, as previousely said, if backing is black and original to the belt, odds are in favor of SS. Since loops/slides were often changed or modified I will not pay too much attention to them even if they are not matching.Jean Pierre Redeuilh

The remaining wool backing is black and It look like original of belt. There isn't RZM / SS marking. The small leather [for clasping buckle] is made from another leather than belt-"hard"leather in comparison for belt leather. Maybe it was made postwar-I don't know! Here is more fotos...
Now,what You think about that?

It was already obvious by the first set of photos the belt was reworked. But a lot of those belts were before 1945. The value is of course not the same but still very interesting from an historical point of view. I cannot say if modification was made pre or post 1945 but at least the base was most likely an SS dress belt if the black backing is original to the belt. Other than that, everything else (tongue, slide(s), keeper) is not from the original belt.Last edited by Jean Pierre Redeuilh; 01-13-2009, 08:57 PM.Jean Pierre Redeuilh
