Nice condition original Heer buckle?.

[jimm]

Received the Heer buckle today , the buckle is magnetic but the roundel isn't , no Assman marks sadly , it just looks too pristine to be original! , is it correct being outer magnetic but not the roundel?. As i have a feeling the roundel is made of zinc and the outer is steel?. It is just clean as a whistle.

Jim, dont panic mate, there are pristine buckles out there, clean as a whistle as you say

Very nice buckles Ben , thanks for putting my mind at ease mate , i'm sure the magnetic and non magnetic elements to the buckle must be correct then. Cheers again Ben.

Hello,

it's a later produced buckle with steel box and zinc roundel .

Also exist Alu boxes with zinc or steel roundels .

In compared not so often seen then normaly complet alu or zinc .

Very nice condition .........

A very nice buckle but $55 for shipping is a rip off. A flat rate international box is around $27.00 I have sent lots of them. I sent a buckle to the UK in a padded envelope a few months and it cost $12.75. It get expensive to ship international if the package is over 4 pounds.
