NSKK or SA youth Buckle ?
Gentlemen, I need help identifying this buckle. I'm sure this will be easy for the buckle collectors. I don't collect buckles (Yet ! :D) so I don't have any reference books. I always assumed it was some type of SA buckle until I researched a bit on various websites. I believe it is an early SA type buckle worn by HJ before they developed their own unforms. I also saw this type of buckle identified as an NSKK type on another website. Any help would be appreciated.
I bought this with a belt and a dress dagger many years ago. The buckle measures 2 1/2 inches long by 2 inches wide. I don't know if this qualifies it as the miniature type worn by youth since I don't have anything to compare it to. There is no maker marking on the buckle. The belt is approximately 34 inches with a nice maker marking and date on the leather tab. The belts feels like synthetic material or rubber & lacks the outer surface. Maybe it was a patent leather type that was stripped off at some point. The dagger is nicely marked but is missing the portepee.
