Maker is JC Maedicke, in ref to the rust I always use very fine wire wool to take off the rust being very careful then clean and wipe off the excess oil. Once dry try and keep in a dry display area and monitor your display on a regular basis.

I would not use anything abrasive on the rust around the swastika, this rust appears to be there because the buckle has been in contact with another item of steel and the damp conditions have caused the steel item to rust, what I see looks very superficial and if you soak it in WD40, light oil and rub off with a soft cloth it should go. Steel wire will scratch the surface of the buckle might ruin the original surface.

If you use the fine wire wool (the ones they use to clean aircraft canopies) its fine I do it all the time, but hey horses for courses

I assuming the latch gave away the maker @Ben? I don't have any fine wire wool to hand so I shall try the WD40 and see how we get on. How do you guys display your buckles?

They wear them.
Sorry. Couldn't resist!
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

This was really very good advice on cleaning, care and even better to monitor for decades to come.

Check out the sticky thread Collection. You can see various ways collectors display their buckles.
