Belt - is the stiching wartime original?

[Fabe]

Hello All,

Would you guys say that all the stiching on this German WW2 belt is war-time, un-messed original?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,

Belt and stitching look OK and period to me, based on these photos.

Thank you for your reply.

Final question: that is an aluminum hook, not a metal one, if I'm right, being an early, pre-war belt - using a mobile phone at this moment, sorry.

Belt is a 1st pattern with aluminum hook. So an early example that could be pre-war or early in the war. Look at post #19 in this thread. Later war examples also in this thread:

Thanks to all for the comments, I did get this belt, and arrived 2 days ago:
(The buckle - and helmet as well - is from Gorodishche (Городище), Volgograd - ex Stalingrad)

...and to not open another thread - I'll ask about this belt (another early alu type) - my main question:
Is the stiching original on this (see pics below) and shouldn't be the leather tab be longer by a few cm below the stiching?


Here are the rest of the pics:


Also, the "G A" marking on the alu-hook, which manufacturer's marking?

Thanks,
Fabe
