Guys, I need some advice here. The catch tip is missing - it can't engage the belt keeper at all. Other than that, it's fine.

Is it worth 500.00 USD in this condition? s/f Robert

This buckle has a finish that appears tan, or am i imagining that finish. Would the color be significant ? most likely brought back this way. Nice buckle.

That was obvious from your photos.
Regarding price, there is no longer a fair value with SS buckles. Collectors and dealers became insane with prices asked and prices paid. So value is dependant of the buyer ...

I would advise to adjust tint / color temp. / contrast on your monitor. It is perfectly silver on my three LCD's.

Not really. The seller said the catch was intact, and indicated it was bent. I thought I was looking straight down on the portion of the hook that was bent straight up, not broken off.
