German WWII Left Facing Heer 1936 Buckle

German WWII Left Facing Heer 1936 Buckle-This buckle is a private purchase parade buckle with excellent detailing and finish. This is the transitional buckle between the Reichswehr buckle and the post March 1936 Heer buckle. These buckle were only produced in '36 for a short period of time (January 1936 to March 1936).  It is said that Hitler wanted the eagle to be forward facing, not looking backward. So the design was modified. The buckle is of a two piece aluminum construction. The front roundel with the eagle and swastika is separately attached with 4 prongs on the back. There is a half moon catch, and aluminum rollbar. This is a scarce buckle for sure! It is also in near excellent condition.
