Nickel Cracked Wing SS Possible maker?

[Ben Evans]

Chaps, just been doing some buckle admin (like you do) and I was looking through the Aurich file. As I looked at this buckle the prongs reminded me of another buckle, this buckle being the cracked winged SS buckle. Sharp prongs and one prong slightly longer than the other. I wonder if Aurich could be the maker of this yet unknown buckle? They have been around a long time as a company being a producer from WW1 so why not have a piece of the pie with the early SS buckles? Just food for thought chaps and something to ponder this weekend, answers on a post card please

The front (not that it matters)

Just looking at them together guys look at the sleeve assembly and how thin it is, the SS one has been stretched with use so bear that in mind, also the pin heads look the same to me!

Hi Ben, an interesting theory!

Cheers, Ade.

[Ben Evans]

It is but also plausible, I will see if Aurich still exist today and try and contact them, its worth a try

Even to my poor eye they look a pretty good match.

Well guys 32 views and hardly no comments on which is normally a hot topic! I am surprised!!!

W-SS one is surely stretched and it was done gradually from same motion being done over and over. If you tried to stretch it all at once it would distort.

Gent's please excuse my ignorance on the top belt buckle, I don't think I have seen one like it before. Could someone give me some information about it?
Thanks
