Peter,

the same kind of finish with white web tab associated has been observed on known original LW buckles, I would say the same for that one

Could you post a back side photo ?

Regards

Nice

That one is really a nice and rare bird

I do believe also that the paint is original but don't know the purpose too.

Peter,

as Simon has rightly said the purpose of such finishing is unknown.

I was a bit sceptic when seein a gront of these buckle - but back od it looks much better

silver paint makes me think it maybe a salesman example of buckle - like the ones placed on paper boards at the stores....

A friend of mine got a white web belt matching this buckle.

No chance to have pics but I have seen it some years ago.
