HJ Belt and Buckle L/12 & GES GESCH Marked? Die Cast? Opinions Please

[Colorado]

I bought this from an estate sale. Looks die cast to me, but unfamiliar with this non-RZM mark. Catch plate is riveted in place on sides. Belt is sze marked 95. Appreciate all opinions, thanks.

Thanks gentlemen, I suspected it was is why I posted. I don't know much about HJ fakes, but I suspect this is a rather old one based on what came with it.

If I'm not wrong, this kind of fakes are in use since 70's. No TR buckle ever had such form of "catch", neither such blurred reverse image.

Hi Valter!

I agree with reference to the catch but not in the case of the indistinct reverse side:
Take a look at aluminium Dransfeld buckles! They have this blurred appearance at the back side.
