I think it is a copy, the most obvious sign for me is the way the FLL is set. Fredrick Linden never did any straight letters, they always had a curve on the back, on EVERYTHING they made
My Customs officers and Kriegsmarine officers buckles have the curved letters but I have found lots of Police and Water Police that I am sure are original and they have the straight letters. So far I haven't seen a EM buckle with curved letters.

IMO the buckle is original
A FLL Heer buckle from my collection
OK. I take on board what has been said, but i for one would not feel comfortable looking at a makers mark that was different from any others the company made. Why have two different marks? It just don't make sense to me
A Rad from my collection.. Dr. Franke also had two different marks... A earlier symbol and then
Dr. Franke... G
I'd rather be A "RaD Man than a Mad Man "
