Then, after reading the latest article from Mr.Thayer in the Military Advisor issue of Winter 2016 (article where the box and ALL buckles shown are fakes), I am coming back to this older thread. The marking, if original (I was assuming in the past it could be original solely based on what the author of the article wrote in 1995) shows a belt made for the SS in 1935. By 1935 there was no belt for the SS with aluminum keeper. So, either all the belt is bogus, or the belt was field modified as I previously stated. The Emil Jüttner officer buckle in the article was definitively original.
