SA belt buckle genuine?

[Adyraphael]

This buckle is made of zinc and SA seems genuine but photos are not clear. May be original?

Hello,

Much better quality photos are needed but I would steer very clear of this buckle based on what we see here. This is not SA or a known buckle type. Instead it appears to be a kind of fake/fantasy piece...an SS officer's roundel soldered onto a very odd molded type of box (looks more like aluminum) that is lacking "ears." It appears to be marked on the lip and there seems something amok with the molded catch. All-around fake/fantasy piece I would say but interested in seeing better photos.

Best,
Adam

Looks like a bad attempt at a SS buckle, leave well alone!

Yup.....Agreed: bad reproduction!! Just the picture of the back of the buckle was enough for me! Steer clear!

For what it's worth I'd still like to see better photos as I think it's a rather unique fake attempt...
