Note the prongs which are cut off at 45 degrees: never a good sign.

Cheers, Ade.

I too am not impressed with this buckle....Certainly a reproduction in my opinion....I can't say much about the belt though - not really my area but I like the looks of it...

I have never seen a buckle made in this configuration genuine or fake, but your buckle is fake IMO

In my opinion, the buckle is a fake. Lightly stamped alloy box with a well known fake pin (massive dome heads), over size pin shroud and crude claw arrangement. The bizarre catch is in my opinion a fantasy type and goodness knows what those markings are supposed to represent. 41 as a year of production marking? From memory, was not this buckle phased out around 1937?

The leather strap however appears to be an original 1935 DJ.

Regards,

David
