I do not believe of the tan paint to be wartime. The buckle is a genuine Aurich one that has been worked a bit IMO.

I think the ears are too big for a Aurich buckle, they are normally long and slender, the catch looks Aurich?

Take a close look for markings. The paint might make them hard to read.

It is hard to say if the paint job was done wartime or not but in any event not factory applied!

Ben, perhaps Osang?

Best,

Correct : as rightly observed by Guido the buckle is by Osang (maker marking is still there).

About paint job, I seriously doubt it's period done.

I gotta agree, the paint doesn't look wartime
