Opinions on My Buckle?

[yankee1227]

Hello, new young collector here, just starting off.

I've gotten a couple small things in my collection such as a late-war armband, a newspaper, and a wound badge, but this is a nice purchase for me.

It's got a really nice maker's mark on it, and I was wondering your guys' opinions on it, and maybe you could tell me what you would pay for it?

Thanks,
yankee

Original buckle by Noelle & Hueck, as to value for $40-50, thats all I would pay for a buckle in that condition, dealers sites will ask for more but they are delaers

Nice and salty!....

A good solid buckle that's Been there. (Personally, I'd gently neutralize and remove the rust on it, but that's just me..) Valuewise? Maybe 30 dollars?

Thanks for the comments!

I suppose I didn't over pay as much as I thought I did, I paid $45 for it.

It's my first buckle, so it has a special place in my collection.

I have a DAF membership book coming in the mail now, too. I can't wait for that to get here.
