Hello!
 
I would like to buy this belt buckle but I need some help to find out whether it is original or fake. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,

It is a a well-know fake, sorry.
You can easy identify these fakes looking at construction method on the back.

Thanks for the warning. I found one similar on e-bay. Is this fake, too? If not, where is the difference between two of them? http://cgi.ebay.com/WWII-NAZI-WEHRWO...22162007r17197

Hello,
yes, also the buckle on ebay is a fake, of the same type.
If you search M4/24 in this forum you can find many repro buckles of different organizations and armed forces.
In general the typical feature of this fake series is the wrong catch bar, also the material and the front design are wrong.
Pay attention, also exists a good M4/24 maker but this isn't the case.
