Is this a fake brocade buckle?

[all1knew]

Hello all,

Is this a fake aluminum Luftwaffe Officer brocade belt buckle? DRGM marked on the reverse and with nut and bolt. The OLC fakes that are similar to this type are different from what I can see.

Hello William,
While researching these on this site . I read this thread that mentioned the use of bolts holding the eagle. They were not used on originals.

Hello again,

Thank you for the help. This piece was not included in my original photos but I wanted to ask, were there authentic keepers with steel sleeves and prongs over aluminum like this one?

I forgot to thank you gentlemen for your help with this one, I surely hope you didn't think I was being rude or that was intentional, if so I apologize.
