Hello while I don't collect this era of buckle, but to me it looks quite authentic. Having a quick look through the eBay repro buckles they are rather crude and cheaply constructed. Your posted example has nice detail and convincing wear and age. It looks to be possibly ground dug and the front perhaps cleaned for display purposes. Happy to stand corrected but imo it looks good. Kindest regards.

eBay repro for comparison
Aging on back looks faked to me.
