strange Youth buckle

[planet]

Hello all together,
wanna show You a strange belt buckle found in the attic in Germany. It was still bound on DH/HJ short trousers. Of course it is selfmade by someone, but it is a piece of its time, probably made from a father for his son. The leather belt is just a little stiff and You can see and „feel“, that it was put together back then and also was worn.
Hope You enjoy!
Best regards, Thomas

Maybe an HJ motorcycle gang buckle

A bit outlandish...I was thinking biker gang myself. I seriously doubt this is a period item...
just when you think you've seen it all...

Look modern to me

It is done on a cnc machine.

Definitly not WWII era or German.

Looks like neo-nazi junk to me, to be honest.

Well, considering these answers I will interview the finder again. Esspecially the leather really feels old, so it's hard to believe to be modern made. What I have to admit is, that the design itself has a kind of modern look, what also was confusing me at first sight. But with respect to the art deco style of the 1920s I find it not impossible to be made in the 1930/40s ... On the other hand it was a gift, so no great deal if not original. But did not want to fool somebody here. If someone here has seen a similar, definately modern piece, just tell and may be show.
Best regards, Thomas

The buckle is not a TR item, I have never seen any period piece like this in all my years of collecting

It doesn't take all that long under the right conditions for leather to dry out and stiffen...
