Hello First silver one I have ever seen. Very nice. Kirby
And last but not least within the tight knit and otherwise happy family of horizontal wing SA's, this little horror and which in my opinion, is a pure fantasy item.

Hello I would call it a copy not a fantasy. The design is close but they usually have three solder holes and if I remember correctly I didn't like the prongs. kirby
I suppose Kirby it is all very much verbal acrobatics. To myself, a fake is a copy with the clear intent to deceive. The buckle in question is inspired by, however and in my opinion, is not a copy of a pre 1945 design.
Importantly - we all know it as a rogue SA.
Thanks for your input on this one Kirby as we have of course been chin wagging about a very specialised group of SA's.

a really super design that,thanks for showing
David,
what a great buckle - the silver straight looks like "the missing Link" between regular SA buckles and the early SS nickle buckles.... IMHO.
Maybe , thats why Angolia called this buckle , "an early SS" ?! Whatever... most important - yours is a really nice and rare buckle.
I think, it's time for you to issue THE devinitive buckle book...with your collection. I really would like to this ...in the future Be sure - I would buy two...or more
Cheers

Dear Ewan and Thomas
Many thanks for the kind words of support.
Thomas - no, no, no to the notion of a book, however and instead, what you have implied about the "missing link" is quite interesting. Here is a two piece horizontal wing SA and I am sure that it was exclusively manufactured by you know who - Overhoff.
Regards,
David
Superb Buckle Kirby !!!

Manny
