Luftwaffe Belt Buckle

[dispo17]

Got this belt buckle at a garage sale from an older gentlemen. He had several WWII items, but I am not sure if its authentic or a repro. Any help would be appreciated, if you need more pics let me know and i will post them.

Thanks

Also is came with a small sticker on the back labeled Z146

The buckle is picture in Angolia's Revised Buckle book but I would consider it a fake. I don't like the construction or the cut of the prongs and the ones I have had in hand had flaws in the pebbling. Sorry but I wouldn't want it in my collection, hope you didn't pay much.

$25 bucks. No big loss

Worth a shot at $25. You can sell it as a repo and get $20. If you have a smart phone a qucik check of the sticky thread on fake Luftwaffe buckles would have let you know it was a fake.
