Likely WWII.
And seems SS with such.
Officer's?
Any value?
There are numbers, etc., can this help?

WW II German SS EM/NCO belt buckle. There are many fakes around. Can you post pictures of the back of the buckle? Are there any RZM marks or any other markings or codes on the back? Are there any markings on the belt?
Thanks Step!
Yes, there are markings...on the back if I rember.
Can that help?
Yes Step, just noticed that there is an RZ... mark; can't read the other under!
The SS is too under! Does that help too?
Hello, it would be best if you could post pictures of the reverse side.
Step, the 2nd pic is the reverse... please help!
From what I see, it looks good because of the RZM marking in the double circle, as well as the SS marking. It should be made of aluminum. It doesn't show much wear though. Once again, some fakes are made exactly like the originals, and even have fooled experts. Where did you get the belt and buckle? Are there any marks on the belt?
Thanks Step!
Sure looks and feels aluminum.
Plus those marks are those.
Got it from collector.
What do mean by marks on the belt?
The belt is thick leather...
Are there any numbers, codes, or manufacturers name on the belt? This would be on the reverse side of the belt. A name, number , or code would be near the hook end, and a number for the size, such as 98 would be near the other end of the belt.
Thanks Step!
I will look...
You are right Step.
On the other metal part is what looks like O L C maybe?
The L is very much bigger that theother two letters!!!
As a logo in an closed design... like a triangle, but I forget how you name that geometric form?
