I have not been able to find a reference for the markings. Any information is appreciated.

Here's what I think John,
the belt looks like a new production with spurious markings.
I don't like the way the black dye has cracked off revealing the brown leather below
I would guess the usf. 2 is supposed to be Ausf. 2 perhaps standing for Ausführung 2 or model 2?
The round markings are just from someone whacking the belt with a round punch.
Perhaps someone with a better knowledge of these things will be able to help
All the best
Doug
Thank you. It seems rather poorly made but I have not owned one before and was hoping to display it. I do not want to display a reproduction item though. The black color was coming off where it was folded over so it does not seem to have been a very good dye job.

I know what the guy was doing with the round punch. He or she was trying to lay out a six pointed star. If you have ever done such a thing you know what I am talking about. But I do not know why.
