Painted luft buckle

[Klaus Fisher]

Recently came across this buckle and am stumped. It has an assmann logo but I have never seen a painted one and the head looks a little off or maybe it's the paint?

Has some wear to it I think it is an Assaman it looks like it could be good, I would wait for other opinions

Hello mate and welcome, the buckle is a fake, can you post these pics in the fake Luftwaffe thread please?

Cheers

Yea the eagle kind of worried me. However I have to admit, this one fooled the hell out of me. The first thing I always was taught when looking at buckles is to check the prongs, and the construction

This is a well known fake to be honest, if you look in the fake Luft thread there are quite a few in there with different makers marks stamped into them, all fake!

Thank you for your help!
