Al, I dont recall seeing a SHuCo KM buckle before, for me this is a cast fake buckle that has been sprayed and aged with a fake tab on it, better pics would also be better mate to be honest.

Thanks Ben

I don't like it too, the set is on auctions actually militaria 321 for 375 € + belt

Al, this is the cast fake

Hi Ben

I know this one is very a good fake czek made, I have posted details photos on WAF forum, incorrect alingment of Shu co mark, bubbles ...
but the marine one is not pebbled, never seen one before

[luftyhunter]

I have seen RSS of course & B&NL KM buckles but never SH co

IMO the buckle and the leather tab are fakes
Best regards

In fact thinking about it I dont actually recall seeing a non pebbled fronted SHuCo Heer buckle before?

Pebbles could have been removed before the gold paint job. I have never heard anything good about 123militaria. This is just another fake.

Hello,

far as i know was RS&S the only maker for flat gild anodized marine buckles !

The shown SH&Co is definitely a cast fake !

Some other maker variations in steel are known .
