WH (Luftwaffe) 'tropical-issued' belt-buckle being a non-maker-marked, greyish-silvercoloured example that comes mounted onto its original, greenish-coloured- (and/or: 'webbing'-based-) tab

The very attractive - and truly very rarely encountered! - 'tropical-issued' belt-buckle (ie. 'Koppelschloss für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere der Luftwaffe') just shows some truly minimal age, wear and/or staining but comes in a fully untouched condition and comes as recently found. The buckle truly retains most of its period-applied, silverish-grey-coloured paint and was (I deem) just minimally used and/or worn: it just shows some minimal dust ie. staining but was never cleaned nor polished (as can be seen on the pictures). The buckle - which still retains pronounced detail as to be expected - came mounted onto its original greenish-coloured- (and/or typical 'webbing'-fabricated) tab (as can be noticed on the pictures). These 'tropical' LW-belt-buckles saw usage within the DAK (or: 'Deutsches Afrika Korps') but saw also usage in the later-war years (for example in the Balkan- and/or Mediterranean-) combat-areas. The buckle (and tab!) are both totally void of any makers'-designation ie. marking (as can be noticed on the pictures). It should be noted that these (silverish-grey-toned!) Luftwaffe-type 'tropical-issue' belt-buckles can nowadays easily be graded 'very rare': even more so when they come in this hardly used (ie. but untouched!) condition as this example on sale here. The piece was recently found at a private-household in Germany and was never before in collectors'-hands. This is just the first such rare example I ever had on offer. I deem that I have priced this neat, truly 'tropical-issued'- and/or fully untouched example according to its moderately used- and/or worn condition!
