Luftwaffe Buckle

[CMSgt]

I received this buckle in a miscellaneous purchase recently. I am not familiar with the difference between zink or steel (magnet does hold). There are no markings on the buckle but the tab is dated 1941 and is made by SCHMOLE & Comp, Menden. If it wasn't for the small amount of rust on bottom this buckle would be mint unissued.

Thank you b. collector, you are right, it is not visible by casual looking, but with a lupe it is SO (with for want of better discription a tree seperating two letters) laying on side, and then followed by 1940. Jim
