Three original Third Reich Items, Veteran Collected: A tombac and white metal SA belt buckle, 2nd type, circa 1936. The buckle is brass, with an added round shield with the party eagle and swastika in excellent detail. The buckle is unmarked. An NSDAP 25 Year Service cross in silver and enamel on a blue ribbon. The swastika is enameled in black on the obverse, and the motto "Fur Treue Dienst" (For Faithful Service" on the center of the reverse. A Third Reich Army Wound Badge in hollow backed stamped brass. It was probably originally a black badge, but the obverse is virtually no black paint remaining, so appears to be a gold wound badge. This may have been done by the original recipient. All three items are original THird Reich items. They are claimed to be from the descendant of the WWI Veteran who collected them. Size: Belt buckle is 2 1/2 by 1 7/8 inches. The Long Service Cross is 3 3/4 inches long. The wound badge is 1 1/2 inches. Shipping: The three items will be shipped together: $35.00

Condition

The belt buckle has a heavy patina but is otherwise excellent plus. The Long Service Cross is Excellent plus, with the ribbon being slightly stained. The Wound badge is very good, with no finish remaining on the obverse.
