fake relics! Whatever next?
Ladies and Gents
I gave this buckle a cleaning with warm water and dish soap. Cleaned it with an old tootbrush. (for an hour) I just about gave-up on this buckle being authentic but I surely don't know enough about SS buckles to judge either way. Either way, have another look, please.
Thanks in advance

Sorry Green, but I don't like it. It looks an awful much to me like a fake that's had acid paste smeared across it.

Sorry green, IMO its hard to tell from the mess buckle from what I can see with the pin head, prongs and now the bumps in the wings I do like it, to me fake buckle messed with to look ground dug

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

Thank you guys
I trust what I am told....too many good buckle collectors here! It's unfortunate that fakers are heartless but one day they will run into the wrong person and learn the wrongs of their ways. I paid $40 for it, so not a huge sum but the point is that I would not have paid $1 if I knew it was fake. In the spirit of adventure and excited treasure hunting, this will not be my last either. LOL I love the hunt and will always take a chance on the inexpensive stuff. Lets just hope I learn faster!
The forum will learn, as a whole, from these threads, so not a complete loss.
Thank you guys
