There is a large thread on the SS uniform forum about SS cross straps. You might want to add this thread onto that one.

Guys moved this to the SS thread, guys on here will know more about cross straps than the buckle guys.

Thanks

Ben

the marking

This is an authentic piece.

Like I have said not my area of collecting but this makes sense they stopped putting tabs on buckles in 42 to save leather reading the other thread where the strap was identified as fake if officers were identified and shot in battle they would have stopped issuing them. Even to be used in the rear why continue to make and issue if not needed? Again Andrea not my area, never collected them but I know FB has for many years so I would listen to these guys

Thanks, dear colleague.
