Hi Ted, welcome to the forum!

It is a West German Army belt buckle (Bundeswehr)

Cheers, Ade.

Thank you Ade.

Ted, as Ade has already stated, post war West German Bundeswehr army buckle, funny though, your buckle is made by OLC (Overhoff & Cie) a very prolific WW2 maker of buckles

Thank you Ben,
How can you tell,and is it unusual that it was made by that manufacturer ?

West German as mentioned. I too have a couple of these....one is marked by Overhoff....not sure if they are that rare....I wouldn't think so.
Ben....does the style itself make it an Overhoff? I don't see markings?

Well,after all this time,and the use of a jewellers eyeglass,I have found some markings........A Triangle with O ? C and some numbers 104 85......TED

Guys, I knew the buckle was by Overhoff as I used to own one marked OLC. Rob, the cut prongs and the slight upturn on the end of the prongs and their shape is a givaway for me. Ted, any chancee of seeing the makers mark?
