Houston, No need to be sorry... This thin cheap buckle is not typical of the era, especially on German made leather goods. This type of buckle is not found on German map cases, German holsters or any number of German leather items I could name.
Simply put.. this buckle would not be available as the Germans had a pride of craftsmanship that prevented making leather strap buckles this cheaply.
Perhaps you could tell me why it would be found here and where else it might be found?
