Hello,

yes but is not a problem when it is not marking ...........

Can you make better pics of stamping on leather tab ?

If you want to, try rubbing a little talc powder into the makers mark on the leather support tab, it can sometimes highlight the makers name for you.

Lovely buckle and tab... Welcome to the forum, great bunch of guys in here.

Thanks for the response, I guess that the extra fotos have to make clear about the maker, so i get as far as my camera gets and for what i could read it was an "F" and "WIES", maybe it referring to the town WIESBADEN i dont know about that.
