The buckle is a reproduction from the 1970s. Everything about it is wrong. The details and size of the roundel. The ears and roller bar are not correct for an Assmann product. Also note the distinctive opposite angle cut of the prongs which is only seen on reproductions. The maker's marking is incorrect. As is the catch, especially the feet. Not sure of the belt which may be original with Luftwaffe unit markings but would need better pics.
 
V chested repo from days gone by as stated prongs cut wrong these were a better repo as to some degree than the old Oliver Tillman copies which I think predated these copies. That belt looks good though and is marked. timothy
