Started off making the buckle.

When I soldered the pieces on the back it sort of turned the metal a different color.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?

That buffs out when polishing and finishing the buckle.

You can also try Brasso.

Thanks for the info Chuck. I was thinking Brasso might do the trick. Worked wonders on my Class A uniform insignia when I was in the Army way back when.
