I've got this steel Wehrmacht buckle, maker OLC, is it original?

Original buckle, maker is Overhoff

Hey Brus, thanks for confirming and for the makers information

The marked Overhoff Heer buckles are a bit less common than the unmarked ones.

@Belten: That's the reason why I couldn't find a lot about this buckle, the detail that is most interesting is that the swastika is dotted, the eagle paws are untouched, was this intentional or has it corroded and\or warn off?

I believe it has been denazified at some point, unfortunately.

Luckily they didn't do a very good job
