I think this is the best cast fake there is currently. Take a look here:

Reproduction German Early WWII Reichs Arbeits Dienst Aluminum Belt Buckle

Perfect for the legions of RAD reenactors.

It is indeed a good fake!!

Wow, I was assured that the G.B. was original here somewhere..
I did not see that coming.. Oh well, Thanks Ben for being un-biased and not sugar coating the facts.. I will eventually post most if not all of my relics for further review and scrutiny and if their not found original... Off to the "Drawer of Shame" G

Damn shame, will be posting another one soon. Always pays to post first, thank you all....well done.

Thanks for the link to the "well made fakes" Rick. For comparison, here are some pics of my 1936 - GB, the 1st buckle I bought early this year!

Thank you Ben and Erno.. I hope this is not fake too.. G

That one is a beauty! That's the kind of RAD that is instantly sold when it crosses a dealer's website.

G, look at the colour, the sharpness of the marks, nothing wrong with that one mate
