DRK: Real or fake - what do you think?

**peribeca** · 06-04-2009, 06:44 AM

have the same question and need this forums input before I make a mistake.....y'all have already helped me save some cash on fake belt buckles but here is another one that am a bit perplexed on.......I was told it is a 1935 Heer .......but when I do a search on "fakes" have not run across one like this that has been counterfeited; am including pix and welcome opinions and advice;

To me this is an original Nickel Weimer/Reichsheer buckle

the detail & swas looks pretty good on these ?

will go ahead and make an offer on this early buckle
also offered a watch with a stamp of HJ , 1944 and the National Socialist Eagle on the back of the watch case...reportedly out of France..12 SS Panzer??

will try to have some pix sent and post them; a bit unsure of where though as have used the search engine on the forum and can't seem to find any info on German Military watches.many thanks in advance for the help;

The bottom one looks suspicious.(IMO) This is mine. A bit worn, as I wear my buckles. The space between the Swastika in the diamond might make a difference.

Both original buckles, do you have pics of the rear?

There are MANY different variants when it comes to HJ buckles...and the same goes for Luftwaffe buckles. Some had larger swastikas - smaller swastikas. Some had different looking eagles. It's a matter of knowing what to look for. I too think both those buckles are good. That said - pics of the back always help!!

Cheers!
