I can see collecting these ground dug items if you go out a dig the up, but I can't see buying them.

To Ben
I found the second buckle with the number 73 on the picture.
It is 155/43 and I think this buckle is fake.
If the second picture on your post is the fake, my buckle is fake too.
Because the clasp is the same of the second picture, makers too.
Thank a lot

On the scond buckle (number 73) look at the front picture and look at the bump in the wings, quite pronounced unlike the fakes, for me this buckle is original

Hello,
I studied all your post about the buckle 155/43 and I don't have a certainty about the authencity.
The mark seems like the original but on the front of the buckle, there are a lot of workmanship.
I don't know if do it by rust or just a bad fake. Warning It breaks like glass.
I did some pictures of it.
Thank you everybody and thank you especially to Ben because you really help me, your post are very interresting.



I add some pictures of the other buckle but no mark...
It crumb falls.
I think see a v feather?

Here you go, your 155/43 makers mark a known original and a fake

Also note the differences in the pin heads

Also look at the length of the ears, the fake is the top one in the above pictures
