R.s.s. Buckle

[DUJAILAH]

Hi Ben & all, Here's an 1938 R.S.S. buckle I picked up a while back.
I know it's a bit worn; but I like the feel of one with a bit of service under it's belt!! Excuse the pun
As well as the wear to the front, the inside is also worn where the belt hook has rubbed it during use.
I must admit I've got a bit of a soft spot for R.S.S. buckles as my first ever belt & buckle I bought for £10 in 1980 (aged 14) was an R.S.S. dated 1936. Wish I still had it

More pics to follow,

Cheers,

Richard.

Nicely worn for sure. I too have a preference for the used (not abused) rather than mint. Easier on the pocket book too!

Hi Rob, I like the mint ones as well; but I would never ignore one with good honest use. They have the feel of a real bit of history.

Cheers,

Richard.

Heh heh heh....Don't get me wrong...I like the mint ones too. I collect 'em all!
Just seem to like those worn pieces "a little" bit more. But mint is nice too!
