Emmanuel,

the belt looks original but the SS marking is for sure post war added.

The whole thing looks too fresh to be true, IMO.

It is a common fake which appeared in Europe in early 1990's (from Austria). As far as I know they never stopped their production

So is the whole belt fake or just the marking?

The catch hardware on the belt might be original, the pebbling on the leather makes it suspect to me.

Whole belt fake since the fake marking is always on the same belts since decades.
