Aluminum POLICE Belt buckle marked OLC ??

[excalibr]

I got this, along with other items, from an individual today. Other items I got were a NSDAP funeral sash, Silver Infanterie Sturmabzeichen, EK2 and some SA brown-shirt buttons. I have never seen the mark "OLC" before. Is this buckle legit? Is is a Police buckle? I'm fairly certain the other items are good. I have also posted these other items in the forum as well. Thanks!

It is a police buckle and a nice-looking one at that. I could be wrong here but it looks quite original to my eyes... Someone with more experience will be be able to tell you for sure. The OLC mark is for the manufacturer Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid. You will see this marking inside the reverse dimple like this also on the 2-piece aluminum Heer/Army buckles by Overhoff.

As Adam already wrote, nothing wrong with that police buckle!
Overhoff/ OLC is a quite common and well known maker for these.

Thanks for the info guys! I guess since it is a common maker that it's not really worth that much? I agree though...it is in really good condition!
