Gott Mittun Buckle fake or real? ;-)

[Tackleberry Jones]

Hi
Still wading through the minefield of fakes in poland and offered this for around £40, cant seem to find the maker when i search google? s.h.u.co.o ?[

Only viewing on phone but it looks legit to me!....

Nice ground dug buckle !!

Lots of fakes with this trademark. Check out the sticky thread on Heer fakes. I would pass on it.

[Wewelsburg]

The maker is S.h.u.co ( Sohni Heubach & Co., Oberstein )

The "patina" looks original but it does exist a very "close to original" fake out there with that maker mark.
You can compare a original to a fake here:
S.H.u.co.40

Hmm 40 quid, it's an OK price for that but I think that you will get a much better buckle for maybe £80.

If the buckle is original the price is to high for the condition. Let's see what Ben thinks.

Original buckle but in bad condition, I agree with Kirby, too expensive buckle

[Wewelsburg]

Yeah you are right, £40 = 46 euro. you can get one much better for at least 80-85 euro.

There is a 40 dated S.H.u.Co fake around but as stated this is a ground dug orignal witha hook made by Overhoff. I agree with the lads, in that condition a bit steep, you can find a better one even for that price, but again as I also say, if you like the buckle then get it

Put it this way...Poland=apply brakes and question Everything.
