Hello, im new at this forum, so apologise for posibility of posting in wrong thread. Move it if required. Tha.
Recently bought this buckle, so would like to hear opinion about it. Is it genuine or not?

Wartime Luftwaffe "silver/grey" painted steel belt buckle- "HA is "for "H.Aurich Co. Dresden" .....42 is the date (1942)....
appears to be a "decent example".....alittle unusual to find a "silver/grey" painted steel buckle w/42 date....but certianly not "scarce" in the "buckle collecting world"....but a decent example of it's type....
No problem from what I see....

Thank you, John, for quick respond!

Hermann Aurich had a different maker mark. This H.A. is for Heinrich Arld. Not a common buckle.
