Guys, just as a learning point look at the ears and eagle on this maker, the eagle is distinct to this maker and there is no other like it, also look at the square ears, again not done by any other maker

Is this Heer or KM?

[all1knew]

don't know for sure, but it is steel if that helps.

I'm not sure how to tell either! I think the KM buckles were gilt steel for this maker, but I'm not sure.

[Ben Evans]

It could be gilt but hard to say due to the condition of the buckle, IMO I would have said more gilt than not to be honest

on the reverse of this picture you can see olive green paint in the recesses so I would think it would be a Heer buckle.

The M in mit seems to be virtually vertical on the pigeon heads!...
