WW2 German Bringback Souvenir Kriegsmarine Belt & Buckle With Various KM Insignia To Belt Leather

A stunning total one off bringback souvenir piece I was recently fortunate enough to acquire being a near mint condition Kriegsmarine belt & buckle with Kriegsmarine insignia mounted into the belt leather .
This unique piece was allegedly brought back from Normandy by its original British liberator & has been in family hands ever since. The die struck buckle is in the high quality anodized gilt aluminium seen on early examples with approx 99% of its original finish still remaining. It is marked to its leather tab with the name of the well known Kriegsmarine buckle manufacturer 'R.Sieper & Sohne , Ludenscheid '. There is also the date 1938 & a Marine waffenamt stamp clearly visible. The belt leather is in fact a 1942 dated example by 'CARL HEPTING & Co , STGT FEUERBACH' with a large number of Kriegsmarine badges & insignia mounted into it .
These trade badges & insignia include :

Coast Artillery
Carpenter
Rank pips
Cap cockades
Signalman
Bandsman
Blocking Weapons Mechanic

Plus more ....
