Hi,
Can you please help me identify this belt buckle and
information about it. Also what is the fair market value?
Thanks for your help!

Help Identifying German Belt Buckle. Pictures Included.
Having or not having a cross bar in the Z to say it is a fake or was an old and wrong bull***t !! Please do not rely on this feature !! You will just end up passing on 100% original buckles and buying a bunch of current fakes from CZ Republic !
It just depends of the maker and/or the die maker to have or not this bar.
I will refer anyone to genuine Assmann SS Buckles. None of those have (at least for original) this bar on the Z (steel version, marked RZM 155/40 SS or/and RZM 155/43 SS).
I can not comment this Political Leader buckle because my expertise goes to SS Buckles only, and I never took care to track original or fakes in other branches of WWII Germany.
Since this issue on the Z is on SS Buckles, I can post such affirmative reply. But I do not comment the buckle itself.
