BACKGROUND: NSDAP-Jugend organisation was formed in 1926 and was overseen by the SA.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: The 55mm x 40mm, slightly convex, stamped brass, two-piece construction buckle features, to its obverse, a plain field upon which is an embossed, political-style national eagle clutching the laurel surround to a mobile swastika on a slightly domed, plain field. The eagle’s head falls on the out side of a ribbed border with simulated twisted rope trim to its inner and outer edges. The ribbed border, which is 35mm in outside diameter, has a spray of oak leaves to its base, with the eagle’s wings extending into it at the top. To the reverse is its raised buckle catch, and a prong bar with dual prongs, for the belt’s retaining tongue.
