Opinions on this SS Belt Buckle please!!!

[Gernika81]

Do you think this belt buckle from the Waffen SS is original or not? It's from an auction. The seller has told me it's original with warranty of refund. It's denazified with a hole probably made with a driller or so. It's also a little bit corroed, but it seems to be in a good condition.
I know that the pic is not very helpful but as soon as I receive it I'll take some close ups. Anyway, please try to give me an opinion. Thanks!

Hello there...this picture is not the best.

I believe the buckle is a reproduction.

There is poor detail to the inner rope and it is wide in places and narrow in other places...but if you can get pictures of the back I will tell you for sure.

Cheers.

Hi

I am with John on this, but photographs of the back will either prove or disprove my thinking

Even without close up photos this is a reproduction to me.

Based on the photo, this one looks like a repro to me too. It has features inconsistent with the originals I've seen.
