Hi what colleagues say?

Hello mate and welcome to the forum, buckle is a fake that has been aged with chemicals to make it look old

[Glenn66]

They did a pretty good job too IMO...scary!

Yes if this continue, noone is going to collect buckles anymore.

Only known examples in known collections will be of interest.

Gents quite an easy one to spot to be honest, the catch and the eagle are the biggest give away, not hard at all to be honest, study the one genuine ones on the makers thread you will find none like that

Thank you for your help in the assessment.The price was low, and it should show a red flag.
The lesson for the future.

Nonsense!
This copy is very easy to detect (if you are informed about buckles)!
