Hello,
Unfortunately this buckle is a copy, prongs, ears and box are not from before 1918...
I'm not familiar with the belt and, in my opinion, he's have not a little chance...
Maybe it would be better to ask here before purchasing rather than after purchasing..
Sry and greetings

Sorry to hear that Kabl, but thank you for letting me know. Appreciate it! This was bought at a show so no time really to post online. Live and learn.

Just for further confirmation, I took another close-up shot of the prongs from a different angle (best as I could - forgive the quality of my photography). It seems the prongs themselves have been filed off/shortened or otherwise cut at some point. Likely a red flag.

Any time you see three vertical solder holes the buckle is fake. Never seen an original buckle with three in a vertical row. Imperial or Third Reich.

Three solder holes are wrong. As Kirby writes. Very bad fake.
