WW2 German Ss Rzm Leather Service Belt – Rzm 401/43 (1943)

WW2 German SS leather service belt manufactured in 1943 under Reichszeugmeisterei control and marked RZM 401/43, confirming licensed political production. Constructed from thick vegetable-tanned leather with blackened exterior finish and natural brown interior, showing correct double-layer construction and heavy period stitching. The interior tongue carries size stamp 100 together with the RZM marking, consistent with wartime issue. Steel hook clasp and folded hardware show correct mid-war economy finish and wear. Surface cracking, edge compression, and oxidation are consistent with age and long-term storage.
