SOLD
Original WWII German Police POLIZEI OFFICERS BELT BUCKLE. (Koppelschloß) Certified. On June 17TH 1936, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler was appointed to the newly created position of Chef der Deutschen Polizei im Reichsministerium des Innern, (Chief of the German Police in the National Ministry of the Interior), effectively giving him full control of all police agencies within Germany. As a result of this appointment and the restructuring of all the separate German state police into a single national police force new regulations were instituted to bring about uniformity in dress for all police through-out the country. One of the new uniform regulations, was the introduction of two new style belt buckles on June 25TH 1936 with a round buckle for Officer’s ranks and a box buckle for NCO’s. This very nice Police Officers Buckle is a minty gem. It’s an aluminum piece, likely from the prewar period. It does not show any evident signs of having been worn. The obverse is pristine, with a clean, smooth finish to the bold and impressive central swastika emblem, that contrasts handsomely to the matte look of the pebbled field. The “Gott mit uns” wording around the top edge also is nicely polished. An extremely slight age patina is just barely discernible. The reverse of this scarce and desirable buckle is also nice and clean, and is complete, with an integral hook for the belt keeper as well as a loop for affixing this to an officer’s belt. Has the RZM manufacturer marking M4/22. This OUTSTANDING Police Officers Buckle displays extremely well, and would be very tough to upgrade. The condition of this buckle is incredible, and rates as near mint plus. 100% Guaranteed to be authentic. Complete museum documentation (COA) Provided.
