USN buckle.....?

I know it's not a Jacket, but I am hoping that some of you vintage appreciating folks may be able to help? I bought a few of these Buckles a year or two back . Told they were New/Old stock from WW2. I can't find any reference to them anywhere. They are very strong. Certainly tough enough to be military........

Belt buckles? Never seen one, but looks good!

That's a much older mechanical style than WW2. I know the US Navy wore the "roller" style buckles during WW2 (which is what I wore in the 80s and I believe they still wear them today). I have seen Japanese and British Navy buckles in that style from pre-WW2. Would need someone more knowledgeable than me to weigh in for sure. But I don't think you have WW2 hardware there. Could be a nice find if they are authentic.
