Good field worn Assmann buckle with tab.Cool you have the belt, too. Nice first! I like minty items, but I equally like stuff that was worn and has a history behind it.

Thanks for the comments guys! I agree, I love items that have that "been there" look. This belt is definitely no exception. There appears to be a name or something written on the back of the belt, but unfortunately it is unreadable . Does anyone have a Gustav Vogel belt in there collection? I would like to see other examples to compare to mine. Also, is there anything I can do to help preserve the leather so it doesn't get brittle? It's in good solid condition as it is, and I would like to keep it that way. Thanks again!

My advice - leave it as it is.
Do not expose it to sunlight, or large changes in termperature.
If you use oils for lether protection, belt may become dark, or get a mold, if oil contains sugar.
Just hold it in a ventilated area - do not keep them in any box.
Your belt and buckle are beautiful, so let them be intact.

I agree with nordland . Heat will also dry it out and crack it. You might use a leather conditioner, but nothing wax based, like kiwi shoe polish, It will crack it .ive used 'saddle soap' and 'bag balm' on a chinstrap that was pretty bad off. After applying it, it's still supple after two years! Only one application, as well. But this is up to you. Don't take my word as gospel...this is just from my experience.
