a nice and very interesting buckle.. there are 2 known variations of this 2 double marked buckle.. one, which you have shown has the full Overhoff name , the other has "O&C"..
I think you will find however that this is not a steel buckle..
this is a nickel buckle , the body of the buckle should be non magnetic.
there are still more questions than answers in regards to why 2 makers would mark the same buckle... in what manner did they work together? was it a designer, maker or maker , wholesaler relationship or maybe something all together different.. we may never know
 
Here is my example - it shows the other "style" that is found on these double maker marked buckles. You've got a great one there! Thanks for sharing!
Cheers!

I just got this one this week.

Nice nickel buckle.

I just started collecting HJ stuff, kind of inadvertently. Somewhat addictive, it is.

Best regards,
Roger

nice buckle...
HJ buckles are very addicting!! I for sure need a 12 step program for them!
collecting them by maker and marking is really a study of not only the Hj but of the RZM itself.. no other NSDAP group had such a wonderful run of makers marks which spans the life of the RZM itself.. there are hundreds and hundreds of HJ and DJ buckles which differ by material, maker and marking :) at least you wont run out of stuff to search for ; for a long while!!!
