Indentifying authencity of this Dutch SS beltbuckle

[DDayNormandy1944]

Dear forum members,

Can anyone help me with trying to determine if this belt buckle is authentic? Someone asked me about it as he doesn’t know. So I told him about all the experts on here. So this would be the best place to try and get to the truth. I really have no clue if it is real or not. Thank you in advance. I could really need your help with this piece.

Looking forward in hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Frank

Thank you so much Ivan! What is the best clue to see that it is a fake? So that I can learn from it?

As stated a fake, the catch is wrong, the crimp, prongs. These boxes are used in numerous steel fakes
