This is an original WW2 Era German youth belt featuring a buckle marked with the RZM logo and M4/23. The belt is crafted from black leather and shows period wear consistent with its age and use. The buckle, made of lightweight metal, displays the eagle and swastika design flanked by the inscription “Blut und Ehre” (Blood and Honor), a slogan commonly associated with German youth organizations during the Third Reich. The interior of the buckle is clearly stamped with the RZM (Reichszeugmeisterei) mark, indicating official manufacturing approval, and the M4/23, identifying the manufacturer as Franke & Co., Lüdenscheid.

The belt and buckle ensemble remains in good collectible condition, with the leather strap retaining its adjustability and the buckle showcasing its original details. A significant artifact, this piece provides historical context for the role of youth organizations in WW2-era Germany. As with all militaria, this item is presented for its historical value and educational interest only.
