'Reichsarbeitsdienst'- (ie. RAD-) enlisted-mens'- (ie. NCO-) type belt-buckle being a maker- (ie. 'G. Brehmer-) marked example which is dated: '1937' and that comes mounted onto its leather-based (and period-shortened) tab
This is an attractive - albeit moderately used and as always aluminium-based - 'Reichsarbeitsdienst'- (ie. RAD-) enlisted-mens'- (ie. NCO-) type belt-buckle (ie. 'Koppelschloss für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere des Reicharbeitsdienstes') as was produced by the: 'G. Brehmer-company as based in the town of Markneukirchen and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used- and/or worn-), condition. The neat - and still somewhat 'shiny'! - piece comes mounted onto its specific (natural-coloured- and/or: leather-based- albeit period-shortened) tab which shows an oval-shaped stamp that reads: 'G. Brehmer - Markneukirchen' and that shows in its centre an early production-date: '1937'. This tab is still completely souple and of course, fully functional (as can be seen on the pictures). The buckle itself also marked with the makers'-designation (ie. logo): 'GB' (which super-imposed markings are visible on the back something that is not unusual). The piece does show some obvious age, wear and/or staining (as can be noticed on the pictures). Simply a nicely preserved (and early-pattern!) RAD-type belt-buckle by a not that commonly encountered maker and that is (I deem) accordingly priced!
