luft belt and buckle

[militariaHunter]

hello everyone, picked up a R.S & S luftwaffe belt and buckle today. Just wanted to get some opinions on it and if there were any tips in preserving the leather to keep it from rotting. I hear dry rot is the biggest worry.

there are also markings on the belt that I can't quiet figure out and was wondering if someone with alot more knowledge could lend a helpful thought.

















to me the above picture is looks like StuW-Kp, even if that is correct the meaning is lost on me.

thanks yellow any advice on leather care?

Leave it alone!
If not stored in a too dry or too moist environment nothing happens to the belt.

Best,
Guido

Messing with the leather could lead in a disaster. Let it be
