Hello Claude,

that buckle is well known, but unfortunately is not an original one.
Keep in mind no original buckles bear such configuration : device attached by a nut.

Hello,
I believe the buckle itself is an original with a spurious eagle added postwar. While I have never seen an original officer buckle with an insignia attached by a nut (mind you, there are nuts out there who would do such a thing ... geddit?), there are non military enlisted examples of such a construction dating from the 19th century up to the Third Reich.

Hello,
Many thanks vor your help, but,what is the name of this buckle if original? Regards.

An original in gold or silver stamped aluminum would be penal or justice official.
