FAD tombak buckle. Freiwillige Arbeitsdienst belt buckle

3rd Reich FAD tombak buckle. Very good condition Freiwillige Arbeitsdienst belt buckle. Ges.Gesch marked. We don't know why this kind of metal is wrongly called as a "nickel".   Nickel is a very hard and shiny metal, which is too hard to us in die stamping.  The metal used to make this buckle is a tombak alloy (about 10 %). "Tombak" is in German language and we prefer to use this correct name in our descriptions.
