I was wondering if you could help me, what is the difference between a black and brown Heer officers belt?
Does the colour indicate early or late war?

Yes:Originally posted by daveslastsummer View Post
- regulation of 1934 indicate that officers belts should be 55 mm wide, brown
- regulations of 1938 reduced to 50 mm, always brown
- a first regulation of 1943 reduced once more the width to 45 mm, and a second one indicated the blackening of officers belts.
Obviously thiese are regulations: you can find little differences in width, and also you can see brown leather belts used also by officers later in the war. Exceptions are always present.
Hope this helps
