German WWII Black Patent Leather Belt-We are uncertain if this would be used by a paramilitary group or if it was slated for SS. This black patent leather belt has no backing on it. The leather is in great condition, it is soft and supple with very little wear at all. The belt measures 43 inches (109.22cm) in length so this would fit up to a size 35 waist. There is an aluminum catch. The tongue of this belt is marked with RZM L2/256 38. (L2 for Lederzeugfabriken, with 256 being the maker) and the date of 1938. This is an excellent belt all around.
