German WWII Early SS Domed Aluminum Belt Buckle – RZM M/183 SS (Two-Piece Construction)

This German WWII early SS belt buckle is a desirable two-piece aluminum example featuring the classic domed center with a gold-washed SS eagle set within an oak leaf wreath. The reverse is correctly marked “RZM M/183 SS,” a known RZM contract code associated with Overhoff & Cie. of Lüdenscheid, a prominent wartime manufacturer of SS uniform accoutrements. The buckle retains its distinctive domed profile, a feature associated with early SS production before later simplifications.

Early SS buckles of this pattern were produced in aluminum prior to the widespread wartime shift to steel and other substitute materials. Two-piece, domed examples are increasingly difficult to source today, particularly those retaining legible RZM markings and original surface detail. SS uniform components were subject to strict regulation and later destruction, contributing to their scarcity in the collector market.

This piece represents a historically significant and increasingly scarce example of early SS uniform equipment and is a meaningful addition to any advanced WWII German or SS-focused militaria collection.
