Early SS Enlisted/NCO Belt Buckle – RZM 57 – Attributed to Martin Winter
Early SS enlisted man/NCO pattern belt buckle bearing the circled “57” maker code, RZM marking, and double-circled SS runes on the reverse. This marking combination is generally attributed to Martin Winter of Munich.
The silver-colored buckle features a raised eagle and central swastika surrounded by the SS motto, “Meine Ehre heißt Treue.” The face retains clearly defined details, with surface scratches, wear to the raised areas, and darker patina within the recesses.
The reverse retains its belt catch and two-prong fastening assembly. Visible condition includes oxidation on the prongs and localized green verdigris near the hinge fittings. Offered as the buckle only, without a belt. Please examine all photographs for markings, construction for condition. COA accompanies.
