The John Bannister Collection - D-Day and Militaria
Lot 2270c:
Description
This grouping features a WWII-era German Hitler Youth (HJ) aluminum belt buckle accompanied by its original leather belt and a black leather pistol holster. The buckle displays the eagle and swastika motif encircled by the HJ motto “Blut und Ehre” (Blood and Honor). The reverse is stamped with the RZM logo and maker code “M4/38,” signifying Richard Sieper & Söhne of Lüdenscheid. The black leather holster is designed for a small-caliber sidearm, such as a Mauser HSc, Walther PP or PPK, and includes an integrated spare magazine pouch. Condition is commensurate with age; the aluminum buckle shows light oxidation and scratches, the leather is stiff with surface scuffing, and the wool lining on the interior of the belt shows significant pest-related loss and moth tracking. Holster: H 7.25″, W 5.25″, D 1.25″. Belt H 2“, L 36“. Please see photos. Disclaimer: Due to the high quality of WWII German fakes, this item is sold as-is without warranty of authenticity.
