Well guys, went to Leeds Arms Fair today and met up with the Scrooge Meister for a nose around. To be honest I was actually shocked, 50% of the buckles that were on offer there today were fake, it really did surprise me! We looked at one SS buckle and put it back the chap asked what was wrong with it, I told him it was fake looked at the other two buckles he had for sale which were also fake so I told him to put them in the bin LOL, he had a right bag on, he proceded around the other sellers slagging me off, what a prat!!!!! So guys in the UK, beware if you are not 100% sure, ask the seller if he does a refund, if in doubt leave alone!! (I did pick up a very nice late war second pattern belt though)

Ah, Mr Wood, I take this is the same person that I spoke to at Leeds? If so if you know this guy, do you think he would post pics of his "original" buckles on a forum? maybe the WAF? (I dont think he will lol)

It would upset him even more if he did and found out that what he was selling were fake and he actually know jack!

Woody, just that buckle you had if you get the chance and see if it was a Lehmann & Wunderberg, here is one enclosed for example. If it is and you want to sell it put it in the for sale section, I am sure of the forum members would like a buckle who's maker is quite hard to find?
