I have recently bought this HJ buckle. It seems to be original, but I am not an expert. Can someone give his opinion? Thanks

This wants to be a HY Assmann belt buckle.…..but something is “off” about it besides the various hallmarks being on the opposite side of the buckle…

 

Let’s see what the SMEs say.…

Thank you for your answer. I wonder why forgers would have placed the marks in the wrong position.

Is that buckle steel? Those markings would not be on a steel buckle.

Yes, it is steel, not brass.

This is a similar buckle for sale on a specialized web site. Same marks on the same side....?

heres a real one from the gettysburg museum of history collection...

a couple of things look wrong when you compare, but the mushiness of the back side eagle head & swastika messiness would make me skeptical. and the fact the markings on the wrong side.🤷‍♂️

but im not an expert on these buckles.
