Overhoff & Cie
Unmarked
As everybody knows, Overhoff was the largest maker of SS buckles since he was granted exclusive rights of production as soon as 1931. Most, if not all, so called "reference" books, including the two latest from Angolia and Nash, are still referring to the year of 1927. This is a total non sense! How could the SS motto been on a SS buckle when this motto was pronounced for the first time by Hitler in January 1931!
As we are going to see in the next posts, early SS buckles variants from Overhoff are plenty to fill a collector's dream!
I will start with an unmarked example. As far as I am concerned, I have referenced only one since I have evidence of only this one (for EM). This example belongs to Christian U. in Germany, who is currently working on his own book. Probably the best book on the subject when it will become available. Christian and I we do not believe this buckle (or its little sister for Officers) was unmarked on purpose. We think this was either the result of a lazy worker at the factory forgetting to stamp marking on it (most likely), or either that the marking was grounded off later like many other Overhoff's (less likely).
Anyways, here it is:

Both pictures and buckle belong to Christian U. (Germany)

Here is another one attesting such lack of control at the Overhoff's firm. Unmarked to the front but ...
Both buckle and pictures belong - if I recall properly - to Raymond (USA)
