the blue swastika was normally found in items relating to the FINLAND PARTY. But may be pre war and have nothing to do with the nazis just a good luck symbol

Blue Swastika was also found on the "Mothers Cross". Actually, I take that back. I just took a look at the Mothers Cross and the Swastika is in black.

Cheers, Michael

I believe it is a pre-war fashion item, my mother has several pendants and bracelets with a similar design from the 1930s.

Hello Matelot - I do not believe that your half of a belt buckle has anything to do with either Nazi Germany or Finland. I believe you have half of a private purchase petersham belt buckle worn by qualified State Registered Nurses of a pattern popular in the first quarter of the 20th century. There are many collectors of nursing memorabilia and you may just find its mate - they are not too uncommon. Regards. David
