Someone at the antique store by my house is selling this belt buckle. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is real or fake. Sorry for the bad photos I had to use my cell phone.

Is there a relatively inexpensive way to obtain acceptable macro shots of things like the hinges and clasps of badges ?

I picked these up recently.
Partly as they are a little bit different from my usual items, and partly as my name is Edcool militaria
Does anyone know if it is possible to work out what type of vehicle they are from?

Any pointers appreciated
Ed

Taken from military history site
"Military Vehicle Number Plates
Since 1949, British military vehicle registration numbers have taken one of two forms. The first had two numbers followed by two letters and ending in two numbers (12 AB 34) and the second, from 1995 onwards, has two letters, two digits and two letters (AB 12 CD).

Before 1982, the central two letters signified the branch of the armed forces or category of vehicle. Military number plates are still made up of the silver on black scheme used for civilian plates before 1973, and can be presented in one, two or three rows of characters.

Hello,
I dug today in a Berlin forest in a ditch, on a tree.
At 20 cm depth, this rusty piece came out.
What’s this? Military? Definitely a part of a tank?
The hole has a diameter of 8.5cm. For a sleeve?
Maybe an angle mirror?

All angle mirrors on the Internet are angular. On the angular side are 4 small holes to tighten. Behind the round hole is a second plate. In between came a glass. The color is light gray. Maybe from a Russian Panzerkampfwagen.

I look forward to your answers
Thanks
