Looks original IMO and an early piece by the catch, Chad will tell you more, he is the HJ god, normally HJ have a sliver wash on them
PS That above pic does not look right? The buckle seems "upside down"?

Appears to be a perfectly sound, early and unmarked, nickle silver HJ buckle.
As for the obverse "coating" - goodness knows.
Regards,

As David , Ben and Ric have said, a perfectly sound buckle, it is a solid nickel silver buckle. I have never seen one of these painted before, and I dont know what is on that buckle . I couldnt tell you what it is, but it was not done by a factory or for an official purpose in my opinion. By the eagle design, it appears to be made by RichArd Sieper &Sohne RZM 50 , but an unmarked example. I have one unmarked just like yours without the coating on it. Hope this helps..ChadComment
