I can't imagine, that you cannot see my photos...everytime when I'm looking at my thread...I see both...I'm working with DSL...perhaps your internet connection is to slow and you have to wait a bit..

What have I to do, to upload the pictures directly?

Hello there,
I can see your photos but unfortunately do not like what I see. The buckle has a great patina but is a copy. The prongs are a giveaway that it is a fake. This particular buckle comes with a variety of fake marks -- Dr. F. & Co.; Assmann; OLC. That shade of green paint is also not German. The belt is also a copy with the same green paint on the catch.
Sorry for the bad news.
Kevin

That's okay...I know that's a copy and the belt too...but nobody believes me ...so if I can get more opinions that this one is a fake...that will be great..Thank's so lot...
