RLB (ie. 'Reichsluftschutz-Bund'), steel-based EM- (ie. NCO-) type belt-buckle (of the third- and final pattern) being a non-maker-marked example that comes mounted onto its maker-marked and/or: '1942'-dated tab

This is an attractive - and actually fairly unusually encountered! - so-called: RLB (ie. 'Reichsluftschutz-Bund'), steel-based EM- (ie. NCO-) type belt-buckle (of the desirable third- and final pattern) being a (typical) non-maker-marked example that onto its maker-marked and/or '1942'-dated tab and that comes in a moderately used- ie. worn, condition. It should be mentioned that this type of buckle was also worn by the various members of the RLB (ie. 'Reichsluftschutz-Bund') so-called: 'Sicherheits- u. Hilfsdienst (o. SHD)'. The buckle was clearly issued and worn but nevertheless still retains extraordinary detail as to be expected. The piece has a typical, bluish-grey-coloured- (ie. 'anodised'-) steel-like appearance (ie. colour) which is almost fully present and reserved: the buckle has most certainly never been cleaned nor polished over the years and is void of any damage or alike (it just shows some regular age- and/or wear-marks (as can be noticed on the pictures). The neat piece comes mounted onto its specific (natural-coloured- and/or: leather-based) tab which shows an oval-shaped stamp that shows a in its center a later production-date that reads: '1942': the exact maker-details are regrettably hard to decypher (as can be noticed on the pictures). The tab is still completely souple and of course, fully functional although the fact that it shows some age and obvious staining (as can be seen on the pictures). The buckle itself is not maker-marked on the inside as more often. Simply an attractive - and hard to find! - RLB (ie. 'Reichsluftschutz-Bund') steel-based, EM- (ie. NCO-) type belt-buckle (of the third- and final pattern) that is quite rare to encounter and that its with certainty accordingly priced!
