Heer Belt Buckle real deal?

**bonzofreak48** · 05-10-2016, 08:55 PM

Hi there. First time posting. I recently got into surplus rifle collecting and am dabbling in other WWII items. I bought a Heer belt buckle, belt, and 98K ammo pouch. I understand this section is for buckles, but I figured I'd show everything at once. The belt and buckle have no markings that I can see. The pouch is marked faintly as "44" with something I can't read above it. Here's the pictures, please let me know if you think they're real or not. Thanks!

I think that the belt reflash with modern thread.

Belt hook doesn't look original and the turnover has been newly stitched but buckle looks good..

A little worn but a nice buckle!...

Thanks guys. I was more worried about the buckle, the belt came with it so worst case I can get a new one. There's no marks on the belt which I've heard is unusual. Would you recommend posting somewhere else for the ammo pouch? By the way I know the buckle originally had a dark finish, but I think the worn bare metal looks pretty cool.

No markings on a belt isn't a big deal. I have owned lots of belts without any markings.

Hello mate and welcome, as the rest have said, buckle is fine, the belt could be original but would need better pics of the leather and stitching, dont like the hook at all

The pouch is an original M1911 produced in the second half of WWII.
The buckle had a leather tab and was factory painted in Feldgrau...
Thanks
