Steel Heer buckle question

[No1canuck]

This is a buckle that came with several others and I am not sure what to think of it. Seems bad to me but would value the opinions of those more familiar with buckles. It is unmarked.

Thanks

Hello,

100% ORIGINAL but take a look on backside under the prongs .

Can you find there a marking ?

its an original buckle.nice one

Hello Markus and thanks for the help. There are no markings under the prongs that I can see. Checked with strong light and magnification and nothing there. It has lots of paint so may be a faint marking under the paint but nothing I can see. Good to know it is original. Any idea who the maker is?

Thanks Markus

Must agree with Markus, B Haarmann is the maker, from the front these and Noelle & Hueck are very similar but N&H have the thin ears

Thanks Ben so I wont throw it out!! LOL Wasnt sure it was good. Think it was the small eagle head and skinny legs that puzzled me.

Steve, here is a Harmann & N&H together, note the eagles are very alike
