'Reichsarbeitsdienst'- (ie. RAD-) EM- (ie. NCO-) type belt-buckle being a maker- (ie. 'Gottlieb & Sohn'-) marked example which is dated: '1939' and that comes mounted onto its leather-based tab

This is a very attractive - hardly used and as always aluminium-based - 'Reichsarbeitsdienst'- (ie. RAD-) enlisted-mens'- (ie. NCO-) type belt-buckle (ie. 'Koppelschloss für Mannschaften u. Unteroffiziere des Reicharbeitsdienstes') as was produced by the: 'Gottlieb & Sohn'-company and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit minimally used- ie. still 'virtually mint'-), condition. The neat - and somewhat 'matted' - silver-grey-toned piece comes mounted onto its specific (natural-coloured- and/or: leather-based) tab which shows an oval-shaped stamp that reads: 'Gottlieb & Sohn - Oberstein' and that shows in its center a production-date that reads: '1939'. This tab is still completely souple and of course, fully functional (as can be seen on the pictures). The buckle itself also shows a superimposed makers'-designation (that reads: 'G.S. - 39' as can be seen on the pitures). The piece does just show some minimal age, wear and/or staining (as can be noticed on the pictures). Simply a very nicely preserved RAD-type, EM/NCO-pattern belt-buckle by a not that commonly encountered maker and that is (I deem) accordingly priced!
