construction. Retains most of the original finish. Two piece manufacturing. This is a 1930's
example.

the SA eagle. The space between the ropes is divided in two. Where the upper section is
adorned with tightly packed ribbing. The bottom section contains a nicely detailed wreath.
The eagle has its wings fully extended. The head is facing right and the feet are clutching a
wreath with a swastika in the center.

different types developed. Even the non-military belt buckles often displayed the
swastika as a means to show support of the Nazi party.

of light tan color. Some belts were stamped with the date of manufacturing or the maker's
name. Other belts were left unmarked.
