1941 De-Nazified Steel Luftwaffe Belt Buckle small but with some flawsNice example of a painted steel Luftwaffe belt buckle with the original leather tab. The buckle has been de nazified which seems to have been done by sort of pounding the eagle and swastika flat or more flat. However they did it, the buckle still managed to retain quite a lot of the paint. There is some rust. The leather is cracked in the center where it wraps around the prongs.
