Rare Luftwaffe belt buckle by SCHMÖLL

A rare Luftwaffe enlisted man's steel belt buckle by SCHMÖLL & Comp., featuring its leather tab clearly marked and dated 1941; the buckle itself bears the "SC" stamp and the date 1940. A distinctive feature of this model is the smooth background of the central motif, rather than the usual pebbled finish—a rare variant that is essential for any Luftwaffe collection. Shows signs of wear and has a fine patina.
