Opinions on this SS belt and buckle

Good one Jim lol

I must say, this seems to be the friendliest and most helpful area on WRF. The helmet forum is a bit scary these days... You're a top man Ben! Oh yes... The deal with that unmarked buckle and belt I posted about at the weekend went south in spectacular fashion. It was an ebay affair and the auction was pulled by them with 1 hour to go! The guy selling it accused me of getting ebay to remove it, he came to this conclusion because I asked him to send me some photo's of the buckle (the one's I posted here)... I got sent a few rather nasty emails about it. I guess there is a lesson there somewhere...

Sorry to have hijacked your thread command450. I'll stop now.

hey thats alright with me Isle! on a side note, I take those pics with just a regular ole olympus camera,set on macro then I trim them down,with a cannon photo editor program.that way they are not all expanded out and are more detail oriented.

and you are right about these guys, rather imperial,eh? I know years ago a forum like this would have shut down alot of scam artist and hacks. I have to admit,I would have fell for "some" of those fake SS buckles in the database here! they are doing the hobby a huge favor!
