Well the buckle is 100% original by Aurich, the paint is not factory applied the original colour is Luft blue as per the rear of the buckle, the question is has the tan coloured paint been applied period or post war and aged you would need good close up shots to determine that.

Michel another way might be to look at the paint colour on DAK helmets, if you study pictures on dealers sites or any helmets that are posted on the forum this might give you an idea if the paint on that buckle is period applied or not

[Ben Evans]

I actually think it stands a chance but really hands on inspection might be better or even post it in the helmet section and let Doug have a look

I have done a post in the helmet forum ref the paint, maybe they can help

Michel, from the post I put on the helmet forum it seems the majority like the paint
