Here you go, fake Prussian with OLT prongs and overpaint.
A fake 1847 pattern Prussian, apparently sold on eBay a few years ago. It seems like the one in Nash's book is fake also....
Buckle is a fake, belt is a WW2 type would need more pics to say anything about that.

Thanks, Ben. Could anyone describe why it is a fake, so that I don't make the same mistake twice?

Single solder hole with fold over tabs is a give away. (although there were apparently some buckles that had this form.) Prongs and catch all look wrong too....
No maker mark is quite common on imperial buckles...
