Thank you guys for helping out, greatly appreciated. The seller says it's not ground dug.

This one is 100% ground dug, man

IMO that buckle has never been in the ground. There are many things that it would relect if that had been the case and this one show none of the signs.

It is a typical well worn early buckle. The paint color looks almost brown in the light of the photo, I would guess that it is actually feldgrau....If brown it is tropical.

Somewhat better photos. I can't see any reason for it being ground dug except the scratch between M and I in MIT (not very visible in the photo) and all the yellowish brown residue, which might be mud, I'm not sure.

I've found nearly 150 and more buckles in the last 10 years..So I think I know how Ground dug items have to look..
