Markus, thank you for the reference photos! Some features look like the Assmann designs, but I doubted that at first because of the prongs. They look very much like the Overhoff and Berg und Nolte cut prongs. Were known Assmann buckles made with this style of prongs? Here are some better photos:

Thanks, Ben! I didn't know that the belt had been repaired, so that is very useful information. The repair is definitely period done when you see it in hand.

Thanks, Harry!

For anyone interested, I have had the belt listed to eBay as I don't really collect them. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link here, so I won't, but it's available there.

Hello,

That makes sense! Thank you for the explanation. Perhaps it's related to the dual-marked Assmann and Overhoff buckles.
