Fat runes, strange overall shape and no buckram.

The Westwall medal is very nice early issue in Tombak

The SS belt buckle looks to be an original latewar steel Assmann, (although better photos would be needed to confirm). However, it has been painted black, so this would affect it's value. This is not the first time that I have seen this done. Sometimes people will take a buckle that is missing lots of it's paint, or has a lot of rust, and they will paint it black or apply a gun blue finish to make it look pristine again. This could be removed, or kept as is. Just my thoughts!

Runes tab maybe modified by tailor or soldat to fit oddly shaped collar, have seen a few oddly shaped that were original!

It looks like it’s for a Panzer collar.

Hi,here are pics of the belt buckle,the front has been cleaned but not by me.Thanks Jay 002.JPG

The buckle is original, but I still believe that something has been done to the front. The front should look like the back, (rusted steel with silver paint throughout). The front of this buckle is not how it should look.

I really like that rune tab ! Probably started as an NCO tab and the piping added later by hand.
