reichsbahn buckle

[p38]

hello,
I'd like to know your opinions on this reichsbahnschutz buckle.. good or bad ?
the prongs seems to have been repaired : aluminium prongs on brass buckle ?
is there a chance this type of building could be 100 % original ?
thank you for your help
regards
Emmanuel

In my opinion, this nickle silver DRB buckle is quite original.

I think however that the aluminium pin shroud and claw set are not as the buckle left the factory and instead, having been replaced at some time.
