Navy Belt/Buckle information wanted

[nsffs]

Can anyone give me more information on this belt and buckle especially the belt and the markings. There are no maker markes on the belt.

Use natural light to take pictures,the flash washes out all the details.

With my limited knowledge and the other items this came with I thought it bto be original. Could you please advise what makes it stand out as a fake. Thanks

Better pics of the belt will help. The buckle doest not look convincing to me. The construction is all wrong - that is especially evident on the back of the buckle. The belt catch doesn't look good and the two piece construction does not look authentic either. The way it's been put together is wrong. Looks like there is a lack of detail to the front - but that is hard to see given the one picture.
I too am quite convinced the buckle is not good. The belt appears to be two different colours? Probably the lighting on that one though.

I'm also assuming the buckle is made of steel? If it's aluminium: then it should be marked by Richard Sieper and Son - the only manufactured who produced these KM buckles in Alum.

Hello,

i must say sorry . In my eyes it is a totaly fake and i agree in al points with Rob ...........

It is actually brass. The belt is a dirty navy color (faded) with the leather strap attached.

The buckle is actually brass and the belt is a well used material in a faded blue with the leather tab

I must agree with the rest, the buckle looks a total fake, even from the bad pics given
