WW2 German Luftwaffe Steel Belt Buckle with Leather Tab (1941 Dated, L&F Hook)

A WW2 German Luftwaffe enlisted man’s steel belt buckle, complete with its original leather tab and separate belt hook. This is the combat-type buckle, produced in stamped steel with a subdued blue/black finish, as seen on these examples. The buckle is untouched and never been cleaned. It features the Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika within a wreath, set against a pebbled backing. Buckle The buckle is of stamped steel construction, retaining some of the original blue/black finish correct for this buckle. The pebbled field remains clear, and the eagle and wreath detail are well defined. There is honest wear throughout, with areas of finish loss and a natural, untouched patina. Fittings The reverse shows correct period construction, including the integral catch and prong bar. The separate belt hook (Gegenstück) is present and is stamped “L&F” (Linden & Funke), a known wartime manufacturer. Leather Tab The original brown leather tab is present and faintly dated 1941, with a partially legible maker’s stamp reading “Dransfeld & Co”. The leather shows expected age and wear but remains intact. Overall A complete Luftwaffe steel buckle set, with correct wartime construction and components. Showing honest wear, but remaining a solid and untouched example. Historical Note During WW2, Luftwaffe enlisted buckles transitioned from aluminium to steel due to material shortages. These steel examples, often finished in blue/grey, became standard issue for combat troops including ground personnel, flak units, and paratroopers.
