Repro Bavarian Buckle?

[3volv3]

Hi everyone,

I believe this to be a repro when comparing to known originals here on the forum.

Can someone please help me confirm this as I am not familiar with these buckles?

Thank you for looking,
Nico

Three vertical holes is always bad. You will find three holes in a triangle on some Imperial buckles.

Thank you Kirby, much appreciated.

Three vertical holes... Always bad ? What about steel Imperials ?

[kirby]

Do you have an example to show?

From the box, prongs, solder joints I would suggest that the shown buckle is bad to the bone!!!!
