WWII GERMAN BUCKLE - SA
The Sturmabteilung, abbreviated SA, (German for "Assault detachment" or "Assault section", functioned as a
paramilitary organization of the NSDAP – the German Nazi party. They played a key role in Adolf Hitler's rise to
power in the 1930s. Later the organization split. one part remained the SA while the other became the SS.
This is a WWII German buckle. As used by the SA during the war. Of brass construction. Alot of
the finish is gone from normal wear. The design of the buckle consisted of a smooth surface.
Two ropes, one inside the other, form a circle where the SA eagle is placed. The eagle has
the wings fully extended and the face is looking to the right. It is clutching a wreath with
a swastika in the center.
The space between the ropes is divided in two sections. The top is adorned with ribbing while
the bottom part displays a wreath.

The belt buckles of the Third Reich came in a variety of designs. There were over 100
different types developed. Even the non-military belt buckles often displayed the
swastika as a means to show support of the Nazi party.
The high quality and intricate designs have made the German belt buckles of World
War Two a desirable military collectible.
This is a later war production buckle. The details are not as pronounced on the design.
As the war progressed the production emphasis was placed on weapons and related war
equipment. Political organizations and such took a second place.
