Heer Buckle

[Joronas]

Hi gents.

I havent got a clue what to look for when it comes to ensuring that a belt buckle is the "real deal".
Stumbled across this one a few min ago and want to put in a bid for it as the sale will close within an hour.
But I wont do that before hearing from some pros first!
The bid is currently at $17 so I'm guessing Its a nice deal if I manage to get it for that or even a bit higher.




Cheers,
Jonas

I believe this is a 'pigeon head' fake, but please wait for the more experienced collectors to tell you for sure.

[Joronas]

Hey Erno, thanks for the quick response.

Cheers,

Pretty poor photo but i'll second Erno!...

Hey Gunny, thanks for looking.

Yeah the photos arent top notch, sorry bout that.

After hearing your thought I dont think this belt buckle will have the pleasure to make my acquaintance!


Cheers guys!

Has anyone ever seen a 1940 date like that on a WM buckle? I haven't, and would suggest you buy it as a fake.

A member named Markus has the original version of this buckle, and it can be seen here.

When seeing them both next to each other I see the differences between them.
