You did a great job.

Likewise maxrsx. Happy New Year to all on the forum
Greetings Gentlemen,
I have a new addition to the Buckle collection; steel body with an applied Roundel. I'm not sure if it's a pewter or not and as you can see on the inside of the buckle, there is some rusting. I've tried to clean as much as I can by rubbing with a cloth that has WD40 on it (questionable?) any suggestions on cleaning it better? I don't want it to rust more.
And after taking these photos, I noticed that there a lot of dust on some of my collection. It seems I've been neglecting it too long

Hi AntonEbans, yeah that is a pewter roundel circa 1915. Keep going at the rust as you have been. That should do the trick; but if doesn't use some of the finest wire wool you can find Extra Fine 0000-000 grade I think they call it; but take it easy, Cheers, Richard.
It is a copy, I am right? Or the original?
Hi maxrsx, it's a very late war original buckle. They are often found in mint condition as they were so late in the war they weren't issued. Have a look at this link : - World War One German Army EM/NCO's Belt Buckle in Original Tissue
Cheers,
Richard.
I also thought of it that it not given out , but coloring belt buckle ( post sleeve) to places is absent and white metal is visible though should be a rust
