Police officer's brocade belt buckle with SS runes

**Tomberry** · 11-17-2022, 11:48 PM

Hi, I am asking for an opinion on whether the brocade belt with SS runes and the police belt buckle are ok?
I have a little doubt about the belt itself..the stitching seems a little different to me when compared to other belts, and I didn't see black thread on the inside of the stitching anywhere.Thank you.

The buckle looks original but I don’t like the stitching on the brocade.

Thank you. The buckle also came out fine to me. As for the belt, when I compare the processing and details with others, it seems original (it doesn't look like a copy to me). However, overall it feels like it's quilted to me, but why... Ben? What do you think about it please? It's not exactly a cheap thing and I'd hate to make a mistake

Thank you very much. Peter.

I dont mind the belt to be honest, has the correct colour of the originals and not one of a fake. Look through the fake dealers listed in the repro dealer threads. Again for me I like it

Thank you for answer. Due to the ever-increasing number of good reps of everything lately, I'm not sure about almost anything

Thanks again for your help.

The keeper on the buckle seems to big for the belt. In pictures one and two it looks like it would move up and down. Not a firm fit. The color of the backing looks like it would be a Waffen SS brocade. A SS brocade wouldn’t have the buckle sewn to the belt. I would do more research before I purchased this brocade.

Try and get some close up shots on macro that will bring out the colour

I am sending 3 more photos for detail. The belt looks original to me compared to the reproductions. But I don't like sewing. It really looks like the belt buckle will move because the holder is longer. The question is whether it could be, for example, a late production, or really a quilted belt. However, I still don't see a reason why anyone would re-stitch the original.
