steel SS fake?

This looks similar to the second buckle shown in the SS FAKES thread.

Is it a fake and is the give away the lack of the continuation of the braid?

I think the braid is a point to look for. But the overall buckle looks poorly stamped, and I believe the swastika is too small, In my humble opinion!
