John,
Note the position and size of the tail...I believe that is significant and may make the buckle more likely Hannover. However, I think the thin tail of the Hannover horse is usually more straight and points out more horizontally. Could be a variant design that accommodates the background shield configuration. Doesn't look exactly Hannover or Saxon.

Hello.

I did a search and found the same crest on the Hannover "mannschaft" buckle.

Could this be fake? And why?

... and more! I found out that this same buckle and crest was also used by the Polizei Niedersachsen Hannover!
Maybe it was general badge for state authorities after the war.
