Well-matched grouping of two German enlisted belt buckles representing both labor service and army issue during the Third Reich period. The first is a Reichsarbeitsdienst (RAD) buckle of aluminum construction with pebbled field and central spade-and-wreath device with swastika, maker-marked “B&N 36” for Berg & Nolte, an early-war example. The second is a Wehrmacht Heer enlisted buckle in steel, featuring the national eagle over swastika within a wreath and the motto “Gott Mit Uns.” Instituted in 1936, these buckles formed a standard part of German uniform equipment, symbolizing service to state and nation across both military and labor organizations.

Dimensions approx.: 2 x 2.5 in.

Very good. Both buckles show expected age and service wear, with surface finish loss and light oxidation consistent with period use; markings remain legible and hardware intact.
