Is this a good unmarked EM Overhoff & Cie buckle?

If you have not found a good SA Dagger yet I may have a source for you... PM me... G

Here you go Gwar, my little horde... I'll probably add some others as time goes on, buckles are fun!

Does this fall into the 155/40 type 2 buckle, and more importantly is this a good buckle?

Thx in advance guys!

Double click on pics, they get full sized enough to see fairly well.

BTW not a 155/40 buckle, late war steel buckle

Ok, Thx Ben. I have to go back through the stickies again.

A good price for a late war Overhoff but it would have been a great price for a 155/40 in this condition.

Ok, went back through the main sticky. Had gone through the more recent variants sticky instead of the main one.

This one really catches my eye in there, Steel SS buckle by Assmann marked 155/43 (type 2) Pictures courtesy of Dave Holbrook collection.

Maybe one day I'll upgrade...

I really prefer these to the Alu buckles, with a little mild corrosion and patina, they really stand out.
