This is a genuine German World War I leather buckle tab, dated 1916, and manufactured by:
„Genoss.d.Sattlergew. G.m.b.H. – Parchim i/M.“
 
Crafted from thick brown leather and still showing clear markings, this tab would have been attached to a Prussian or Imperial German belt buckle and used by front-line soldiers during the First World War.
 
Manufacturer: Genossenschaft der Sattlergewerbe G.m.b.H. (Saddler’s Cooperative), Parchim, Mecklenburg
Year: 1916 (clearly stamped)
Material: Leather
Condition: Good for its age — legible markings, light service wear
Authenticity: 100% original WW1 item
 
An excellent and rare addition for collectors of Imperial German field gear or WW1 militaria. Especially interesting due to the well-preserved maker mark and full wartime date.
