The buckle and the leather tab are originals but I have never seen
A silver painted one, repainted?

[Ben Evans]

I a with Ivan, original buckle and known maker, as to the silver paint never seen one. Is there any other colour under the silver?

one other, the dealer says silver paint in factory...

[Ben Evans]

That one is a late war Overhoff made buckle like this, not a J C Maedicke, I will never say never but again I have never never seen a silver J C Maedicke made buckle

Ben is right, the late war Overhoff Heer silver buckle is a common buckle, I have this silver Dr. Franke example, but I have never seen a silver Maedicke and as well with leather tab

There is silver GB with the white web tab. I would never consider paying 160 euros for this buckle in this condition.

That is a rare buckle to own, my friend Rudi has two of them

I have never come across the Heer but there was a Luftwaffe at the 15 SOS. The deal was stuck at $1500 and wouldn't move.
