Dean, if you mean a buckle with a deaths head on it there are no original ones, they never did them, if you have a look at this thread it will give you an insight into the buckle world, any probs ask whatever you want or send me a pm BTW welcome to the forum

Is there a buckle with the deaths head on it? What type of buckle is that?

Ah, Ben says there isn't, whilst I was typing. I have just done a Google search and you get a load of 'fantasy' peices.

The only original buckle with a death head is a Wehrwolf or WWI Brunswick Battalion buckle. These are rare expensive buckles. Ebay is loaded with skull buckles that have a SS type death head or copy Wehrwolf buckle. If you want one of these for $10-15 to wear it's kind of a cool looking biker item. They have no collector value.
