    I`m looking at a collection to buy and this is one of the buckles for sale.

    I looked through the forum but couldn`t find a similar buckle with the black/dirt in all the contours.

    I`m not sure if I`m capable of telling yet...but I feel like I can see some cast pearls in the rear portion of the buckle.

    Hoping the experts can help me determine if I`m right are wrong.

    Thanks...Lakeman

    Lakeman,

    Based on what we have seen of this "collection" (if those helmets are part of it) I would stay far away.
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    Hey Lakeman81,

    I concur with your concerns Some cast nodules exist on back. I also notice the swaz on the one you post looks to hve no shoulders / bevel to it. I believe it is a post war creation. Here is some pictures of mine if it helps. It is a little dinged up and worn but I believe the one I have to be a real period one. I also agree with you about the uniform darkening in the recesses your seeing. I would stay away from it. See what Ben & Markus think as well as others who have good knowledge here too and have opined.

    Thanks Gents! I will make a big turn away from this stuff.

    Of course I`m not lucky enough for all these items to be real...

    Thanks Rossi and Ben for sharing the originals!

    But you are lucky. Very lucky.

    You just saved thousands of $ or €'s. Unlike the current owner who has not (if of course he is telling the truth)

    Michael (MAP) is correct - you've saved yourself from making a monumental blunder by purchasing anything from this collection. But you've saved your cash and will be able to look for better items which is definitely something to feel positive about. It's a great feeling when you pick up something genuine and it gets the thumbs up here.
