Glad to be of help William; the smooth finish LW buckle by Schmöle is the only one I've seen like that. Just as some side info Dan, all aluminum buckles weren't painted. The LW used aluminum from 1935 to 1939 (I'm not including DLV), as the earliest steel buckle I have seen dates to 1940 and the oldest aluminum I've seen is 1939. I could be wrong, maybe others have buckles that defy what I've seen. Also, I have never seen a leather tab dated 1943 or later.
