A particularly rare, SS claw belt & buckle along with crosstrap, fully RZM, and SS marked. Black leather with nickel-silver claw buckle. The reverse stamped with the RZM details, and  the SS Runes within an octagon shape. The crosstrap also with full RZM / SS markings (although not matching dates with the belt).

Condition report: Overall excellent condition.

Note: SS officers are understood to have  found the standard SS circular buckle and belt awkward. The  claw belt and buckle, particularly in combat situations (where the circular buckle and belt were prone to loosening) was preferred.  Although most officers purchased basic Heer pieces, some RZM /SS examples are known to exist.

Provenance:Acquired by Bill Shea (The Ruptured Duck), direct from an American soldier serving in Europe during WW2. A  C.O.A  from Bill Shea is included in the sale.
