Metal SS belt buckle

[Barrymac]

Hi all,

Any hope for this belt buckle?
It is metal and was very rusted when i got it several years ago. I then proceeded to perform the cardinal sin of collecting on it and cleaned by leaving it overnight in white vinegar. I was so young and stupid back then as opposed to simply being old and stupid now
I always believe that the divil is in the detail and the oak wreath looks less than detailed but maybe that is age related.
Plus the belt loop on the back seems to have been attached before the belt was formed. Is this normal?
All help welcome.

I thought it was too good to be true.
Thanks SScollector.
I will be selling it to the re-enactors at the next show
