Hi all, I have also recently bought this luftwaffe aluminium 2nd pattern buckle. Could you please give me your view about it?, regards, Juan

Juan, hello and welcome to the forum, sorry mate but the buckle is a cast fake, no good my friend

Thanks Ben for your reply and clarification, appreciate it, in order for me to fully fustify it to the person who sold it to me, why in particular is this buckle a fake one, thanks again, regards, Juan

Hi Juan, please note the casting mark/flaw, these are not present on genuine aluminium buckles!..
