M35/41 Gym Pocket construction

I have been offered a M41 Gym in olive wool with tabs made from the same basic uniform material while at the Show of Shows. I hope to get permission to photograph it tomorrow at the show. The thing is pretty convincing with the wear to the nap in all the right places etc. I would have taken a chance on it, but some the construction details just make me a bit hesitant.

In particular, I was wondering if anyone had seen a wool gym. with the pockets sewn on with and "X" pattern stitch instead of a typical linear stitch.

Reichswehr buckle in aluminium

Hello!

A few months ago I bought this Reichswehr buckle in aluminium (one piece) from a dealer.
Has anybody else the same buckle? Or other aluminium variants?

Another Fake Test

Test part 2:

This disc is bad- but why?

The text reads:

6/ PZ. ABT. 334
529
A

There are two very clear problems- one is demonstrated by two features in fact, so one could say there are three indicators. None is tricky or anything like that.
