Hi guys! I wonder if any kind soul could help me with this unmarked SS buckle. Is it a good one or a repro? IMO it looks lite a late war steel buckle but I´m very far from an expert so I wonder if any more knowledgeable collector could help me
Thank you in advance. ps. I do not own it just thinking of buying it .

Thanks a lot Ben for your help
If you have the time can you please tell me what it is who says it´s a overhof? It would be very nice to learn a little also

Overhoff & Cie, Ludenscheid (Ludenscheid being the town of manufacture, I believe in the Ruhr valley) were one of the larger buckle manufacturers, they had a RZM contract M4 27 along with some of the earlier contracts.

Thanks Evan! I think I formulated me wrong, my english is not the best. I meant what on the buckle tells it´s a overhoff ?

Thats years of experience looking at and owning buckles, have a good look at this thread, it may help a little:

Also have a look at the SS makers thread, again it shows examples of buckles by various makers
