Well both are original, the first one is probably by the maker Julius Kremp, Ludensheid the eagle is a bit distorted and hard to make out, the second buckle is by Richard Seiper & Sohne, Ludensheid. Steel Heer buckles were made from 1940 to 1944/55 but due to the colour and knowledge on these I would say these have been made from 1940-1943, the tab will have a date on anyway, does not mean the buckle was made the same year but wont be far out.

A Julius Kremp buckle, have a look at yours and see if it is the same

1943 - Berg & Nolte AG of Lüdenscheid

Look at the markings behind the handmade lettering!

Best,

The little difference is I have seen no ghost markings, they are real!

It seems to me that the trademark Berg & Nolte, 1943, but the salesman told me that is bucke unmarked, so I thought that I imagine it - Guido a big thank you for verifying.
Also a big thank everyone for help.
