Query about buckle in Nash?

[Lenny Warren]

I was reading this topic in WAF,

B&N 43 Army buckle for review - Wehrmacht-Awards.com Militaria Forums

which describes the buckle marked as fake in Nash page 446 as original.

Anyone any thoughts on this?

[Ben Evans]

Lenny there are mistakes in the Nash book and the Angolia but on the whole both are good books, the buckle is 1000% genuine and a typical Berge & Nolte buckle

Cheers mate, just marking up the amendment in the book...

[Ben Evans]

Here are a few Lenny, very distinct eagle on these buckles, quite easy to recognise

There is also a bit of info about Nolte in this thread

The prongs must have made Nash think it was a fake.

[Lenny Warren]

It's funny how the prongs are touted as a pointer to a fake, then a known maker has prongs similar.... Surely collectors had sussed that B&N did their prongs like this years ago, or is it just a recent discovery?

[Ben Evans]

Asmann also did some prongs like that on some early buckles
