Relic SS Belt Buckle (From Karelia)

[HetzersGonnaHetz]

Hi Guys,
Thought I’d share this buckle with you all. It’s a relic SS Buckle found in Karelia. I assume it will be from the SS Nord as they were the only unit in Karelia (Correct me if I’m wrong(?)). Pretty beat up but nice none the less. A collector on Facebook sent it me a few years ago when I’d first started collecting (Was 15 then, 18 now) and once I’ve been collecting a while I’ll do the same and pass it onto a young lad just starting out.

Apologies I couldn’t give a bigger description of the item as I’m not very clued up on buckles, just hope you enjoy.
Kindest Regards,
Harvey

That’s a few things I didn’t know before mate so I appreciate the input and help. It’s pretty beat up (very beat up), but always gotta start somewhere

On a side note, you aren’t too far from me, I’m Derby too

but a 2nd pattern Overhoff marked 155/43 under the prong sleeve

I believe a typo mistake since it is an Assmann. Indeed a second pattern or you can call it a Type 2 since no matter what it is following my own codification .

I'm a young lad.. Not starting out though . I'm really digging this buckle (pun intended). Maybe I'll go rooting around the deepest depths of the internet or local antiques stores and try to snag one for myself.

Should look like this

Many thanks Ben, that buckle is definitely nicer to look at but all got to start somewhere
