Neat, WH (Heeres) 'tropical-issued' belt-buckle (being a non-maker-marked and/or typical olive-green-coloured) example that comes mounted onto its original, greenish-coloured (and/or: 'webbing'-based-) tab

The piece - which is as mentioned above a non-maker-marked example - shows evident age, wear and/or (rust)staining but comes in a fully untouched condition as recently found. The buckle retains some of its period-applied, olive-green-coloured paint but was moderately used and/or worn: moreover, does it show a somewhat rusted finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The buckle - which nevertheless retains pronounced detail as to be expected - came mounted onto its original greenish-coloured- (and/or typical 'webbing'-fabricated-) tab (as can be noticed on the pictures). These 'tropical' belt-buckles saw wide-spread usage within the DAK (or: 'Deutsches Afrika Korps') but saw also usage in the later-war years (for example in the Balkan- and/or Mediterranean-) combat-areas. It should be noted that these army-type 'tropical-issue' belt-buckles can nowadays easily be graded 'fairly scarce': even if they come in this clearlu used (ie. but untouched!) condition as this example on sale. The piece was recently found at a private-household in Germany and was never before in collectors'-hands. I deem that I have priced this neat, truly 'tropical-issued'-example according to its clearly used- and/or worn condition: a pristine example would cost much more!
