Hello Ben,

unfortunately I only have only photos of this buckle. I'm thinking of buying it or not.
It depends on whether the original factory is paint or not.
So you think that this buckle is repainted?

Best regards,
Sergey

From the pics provided if you zoom in I cannot see any underpaint or another colour underneath. The wear also looks consistent and shows no other colour

Hi Markus,

thanks for you comment and photo.
I also can not understand, maybe just not successful photos IMO.
I will ask the seller to take more photos in daylight. Maybe it will help to understand.

Here is another textbook example of a similar manufacturer of the same year.
I found these photos on this forum. I hope the owner will not mind showing.

Thank you all for participating in the discussion.
