I agree with Ben and in regards to the Stahlhelmbund buckle, I'm certain it is a reproduction. This is the same buckle I purchased as my first Stahlhelmbund a while back and which was determined to be bad. The example I had can be found in the rogues gallery. As was pointed out to me, notice the slight blurring of the lettering on the roundel and a lack of crisp detail. The solder points on the reverse are also fairly small. The rough cutting of the prongs on this buckle are also a red flag and a better photo would confirm this. Hope that helps!

Best,
Adam
