Looks like the original. I hope this belt will last for many years to come. High quality leather, durable buckle. 6/6/17 The leather on the belt is of very good quality, but the belt buckle is annoying. The centerpiece that fits into the holes on the belt is brass (so soft). I had to bend it straight several times and then the other end that connected to the buckle broke on its own. Let's see if I can bet it's fixed (could cost more than it's worth). Pity!
