Fantasy
This buckle that I still hold is well known to the forum, although I think that it is lurking or hidden within other threads.
Perhaps it deserves a dedicated thread.
In my opinion, a pure fantasy item rather than being a fake and despite appearing in several buckle reference works. There is within the latter, mention to examples in steel and brass, however I for one have never seen this buckle in anything other than a light aluminium type alloy.
Does anyone else hold one of these fantasy buckles?
Regards and best wishes,
David

Dear Ben
Greatly appreciated.
This fantasy buckle has been around now for over 35 years and a little more research if possible, may be interesting.
All is well in China and thankyou for asking.
Regards and best wishes,
David

Dear Kirby
Thankyou for your response.
The image that you so kindly provided has brought back bitter/sweet memories. One of two trays if I remember correctly. My interest in trying to buy the same collection was for one buckle only.
Yes, you are correct, the inclusion of the fantasy buckle which is the subject of this thread.
Although unable to be substantiated, my thoughts are that this buckle is in one form only. No brass or steel examples which is not really surprising when considering the gossipy anecdote of the buckles origin.
Regards and best wishes,
David
