I believe this is a good one. Now, for some strange reason, people tend to place an considerably higher value on KM belt buckles than say a Heer version. I guess it has to do with them being beautiful golden color.
Anyway, this model does appear to be a period albeit a defaced obverse buckle. Price should reflect this if you are interested in purchasing. All the best.
