Angle and the ears on the aluminum buckle are taller.

Brass or nickel box on this nice buckle ?

Hello ,

it is a steel buckle with base brass coating and then nickel finished .

Very interesting. I must now check my two RZM 72, as I recall they have different manufacturing materials. I will check very soon

Great thread! Thank you for the pics. Ears and prongs by Cramer are quite distinctive and now easy to spot

I thought he used both 'RZM 72' and 'RZM UE 72' on HJ but I only find the later marks on DJ buckles. Interesting if so.
A underestimated maker from my side. I will try to catch more buckles from him soon!

Hello,

Not by RZM .........72 ,the big gap between the RZM and 72 ! Often missing the UE , in stamp error !!!!!

Haha very cool with his errors! Now I want all his error buckles

Here is a small DJ with RZM 72, pics borrowed from Chad Williams: (if you see this, I hope you dont mind)
No gap and thin lines.
