Description
SS EM/NCO’S Belt Buckle by “RZM 155/40 SS”, Type One. This steel-based example was produced by the Assmann firm in 1940, which was also the first year that SS EM/NCO belt buckles were produced in steel, with SS EM/NCO buckle construction in prior years being from nickel and then aluminum and eventually a few were even made in zinc. Note how the maker mark is at the left side reverse, the later type had the maker at the right reverse under the prong bar assembly. This is scarcer than the later type.
