Hello,
Let me start off by saying hello, since this is my first post. I found your board on searching for information about the buckle that I am about which I am going to inquire now. Your site is excellent. Now, down to business:
I inherited a belt buckle from my father that, based on my search of the internet, seems to be rather unique. It seems to be made of nickle or possibly nickel-silver. While the image on the buckle is not particularly unique, being an eagle in flight with the SS symbol in it's left talon and the swastika in the right, and also the standard phrase "Meine Ehre Heibt Treue" (with, of course, the germanic letters!), but it is not stamped sheet metal. Rather, it is seemingly punched out of heavy gauge metal. On the back it is stamped with the Walther logo ("Walther" on what seems to be a banner), and the standard "RZM" and "SS" logos, and also the designation "M7A/27/41" followed by "VIII"
I am attaching photos, but I sincerely apologize for their quality. My camera does not have an adequate "Macro" mode, so they are what they are. One set is scanned on my scanner, one set from my camera.
Any information you might have on this piece would be greatly appreciated.
